i’m not huge on short story compilations, but i really enjoyed quite a few in this one. the peach one, the physicist one, and the jael one stick out to me the most, especially in their prose. it was really beautiful stuff. i love how these stories follow desire and the life of women in churches and their relationships with god and the people around them. each character in every story is written so well and so human. 

janina edwards is an incredible narrator and brings each character to life in a unique way. she embodies each person and i love it.
