Not my type reading style. What I found with these stories is that they touched on human emotions...love, loss, intelligent, wonder, etc. So, these stories were not just "stories" but ones that did make you think and ponder for a while. While I did appreciate these stories, I did feel like I was more of an outsider trying to look in. There was never any moment where I could fully embrace the stories. This is because the characters were not really specific to any type of person. It was like the stories were of faceless people. So, I did struggle to fully become connected to what I was reading. Sometimes I would find myself rereading passages. Overall, this collection was good just not really for me. no reviews | add a review
