Re-reading this as am considering doing a special 10-year edition for 2023 with a handful of new stories. It's always nice to be surprised by your own work, but this is what I liked most about this re-read:
* The quotes. I chose them well. Yay me!
* The variety of stories, characters and pacing in the stories. Niiiiiiice work me!
* The way I want to know what happens next for all the characters... and I flipping wrote them so if I don't know, who does? Silly me!
* How quick and easy nearly all of these stories are to read. Perfect for my mushy pandemic brain. Thank you me!
Guess I've got a year and a half to write those extra stories. I'm think a sequel for the title story, a prequel/postcard for the lovers in All the Beaches Are Made of Pebbles, and maybe a follow-up to Max's Holiday when he's a teenager. Oooh the ideas are already flowing!
