I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher.
This book is an ambitious anthology of short stories by various authors that are written from the perspective of a variety of inanimate objects. Some stories are odd, some stories were surprisingly sexual, and some stories were subtly heartwarming. It can sometimes be a scavenger hunt to figure out what the inanimate object of the story is, which worked well for most of the stories, but others not so much.. After a couple reads, I still could not figure out what the object in the first story was supposed to be.
These short stories are written by different authors, so the writing style varies from story to story. and each story is relatively short. and light, so there is no need to read multiple stories in one sittings. Not to be crude, but this is a good bathroom read - it's noncommittal and is easy to pick up where you left off.
