"Bugsby & Other Stories" is a fun compilation of emotionally powerful, raw and honest short stories that will have you hooked. I also really appreciated the honesty and unapologetic nature of the author to "go there" in a variety of topics that most people would shy away from.

No topic was too taboo to not be explored, and this collection offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the human experience. The nuanced exploration of mental health, specifically addressing bipolar disorder and mania also blew me away. The author handled these themes with impressive depth, contributing to a broader conversation on the complexities of mental health in today's society.

It was definitely a departure for me, and something that involved me stepping outside of my comfort zone, and I would highly recommend.

Thank you NetGalley, Rafael Frumkin, and the publisher for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
