God I really love this book, I feel so connected to the writing and its just really beautiful and simple as a whole. But the stories are complex individually. 

  • Stories vary in length 
  • I love the writing style. Its easy to understand yet still poetic and meaningful 
  • I like how all the stories are so different from one another. One is not like the other
  • I really enjoyed how the main characters are so diverse in age. As it shows what their lives are like at different stages and how their age may affect their relationship with girl/womanhood. Which shows how you never stop growing as a person. It doesnt matter how old you are. You are still a girl on the inside.
  • Intimacy is a big theme, sometimes related to sex not always
(sex is mentioned more than once. sometimes graphic sometimes not.)
  • Some stories are based around small moments that are then stretched out to be a longer more interesting story, while others are complex and large naturally
  • The way that each story starts is so intriguing, and I loved each ending. The beginnings and endings were always satisfying
  • Some of the stories have strange, offputting, and unexpected themes. Not mad about it. But it was just really interesting. 

This book was not what I expected, it was even better.
