Some of the short stories and poetry are fantastic and introspective, some of them are mediocre, and a few are just... weird. The art is pretty great, and a few of the photographs caught my eye.

I thought that this book was pretty good, at least some of the stories were I would actually rate this a 3.5 if we could but I can't so. I really liked the way I could connect to t a lot of the characters in the stories because they were written by people around my age. It was really interesting overall and would recommend it.

Its been a long time since I read short stories, and this one was a pleasant surprise. The stories are touching and vivid, with a lot of stress on nuances and details. It has all the qualities of good fiction, without too much melodrama and excessive masala put in. Great read.
