priyastoric's review against another edition
3.0
I received this short story compilation from a friend and I'm glad I finally took the time to read it. Geeta Kothari deals with a variety of themes - mostly centered around identity - that I understood and recognized in myself.
Her prose is also at times quiet, yet meaningful.
"I have felt Zed's hand on my shoulder, holding me back from the ledge. He did for me what I couldn't do for him or myself. In the long dark nights I spent looking out my window, waiting for the pink and gray streaks of daybreak, he reminded me my life was not worthless."

I love this collection so much. The range of characters, emotional complexity, and narrative structure is incredible. Kothari has a tender but keen eye when it comes to her characters and the subtle humor throughout many of these stories is totally delightful. I've continued to think about many of these stories well beyond the page. I can't wait to read them again.
