The first two stories were really special, but I lost touch with the writing moving forward. There were some really beautiful worded lines scattered about that I took note of. Edie would be my favorite of this collection. I thought I’d connect more with the final story Dead Girls but it didn’t hit affect me in the way I thought it would, even if some of the scenarios were relatable.
