My first review:
Well, what a pleasure it has been to read this author. I knew I was going to be entertained from the first few sentences of the book. What a talent! The writing is both humorous and tragic. Some stories are lighthearted and then are surprisingly deep at the end. Each short story reminded me of a different reason to overly indulge in the joy of reading. I was sorry when I completed the last story. They are varied stories with very little in common with each other, each one having its own unique sucker punch. I highly recommend this book and, I look forward to discussing it with my group read buddies. This will be a book that will lead to some very stimulating group discussions. I was honored to have been given the opportunity to read an ARC of these extraordinary stories.
