Not bad just didn't really do it for me
3 stars
This book is a collection of about a dozen 10-page short stories so it seemed like a good candidate for trying to push through even though I wasn't super immediately compelled. Thinking maybe I should try to finish more books rather than immediately abandoning ones that I'm not totally in love with. There were a few moments/stories that I enjoyed but overall I found this collection pretty bland. At least I didn't waste too much time. If you're gonna write navel-gazey stories about women where basically nothing happens I want the writing to knock my socks off. Or maybe its better than I'm giving it credit for and my tastes are just changing.
