I did NOT want this to end. What a beautiful, heart-capturing collection of short stories. Each one stood strong on its own, but as a collection it left me feeling so many things. Kudos to Sareeta Domingo for perfecting the order of the stories, and for embracing a really diverse set of characters and worlds. Will be thinking about many of the stories in this book for a long time, and will be highly recommending to any lover of modern fiction. Easily one of my top 10 books of the year, and top 10 short story anthologies.
