Upon reading the first few stories from this second book by Anna Felicia Sanchez, I immediately deduced that I might be heading into young adult fiction. Many of the characters here are students, majority of which are going through personal troubles and mental health issues. The approach, if I recall correctly, is starkly different from Sanchez’s first collection. But as I flipped the pages further, I became aware that the characters are moving past youth and the themes are becoming more mature. Reading this feels like I am growing older and older with the characters, whose stories offer wisdom and wistfulness.
