I don’t know how to feel about this - short stories collections are always so hard for me to rate. In this case, I didn’t love any of them but I didn’t hate any of them either. It’s an interesting collection for sure, but not what I expected. This has been on my TBR for a while, having put off reading it for perpetually feeling like it was “too soon” - but here we are nearly 5 years later and then pandemic continues.
