This book had very good short stories. It puts you in other peoples lives and how they coped with life. Some times we need to read someone else's troubles to see how lucky we are. Would recommend this to read.
I think I sprained my brain trying to keep up with the twists and turns. I tried to guess how each story would end, and I was way off each time. Excellent.
