This book had some of the best dialogue and most human characters I've ever had the pleasure of encountering. The writing style had me hooked from start to finish, and you will empathize with flawed people trying to live their lives the best they can.

Plett is a master of creating intimate, personable characters revolving around both cozy and challenging situations. Her characters are deeply flawed, but also so lovable and sympathetic. If I have one criticism, it's that all the short stories began to blend together after a while. I think Plett's writing really shines when she carves out enough space for her characters to really flesh themselves out, such as in Little Fish. I really enjoyed the interspersed stories of Vera, and almost wish the whole book had been just that.
