So fully immersed, can’t believe all the stories are real.

A book that captures your attention from the dedication and I couldn't put it down. Every story is deep, beautiful, heartbreaking and thought provoking. I can't express how much I felt, but these stories were so heartbreaking I was almost crying 

I love the authors writing style and I'm definitely reading all her books, book 1 was good but this was sooo good.

The stories explore different topics from marriage, mental health, drug abuse, tradition, loss, domestic violence, childhood trauma, sexual assault etc. It shows different perspective to life, I get to see life in someone else's lense and have compassion for everyone going through different pain in life.

I'm recommending this to all my friends.

I’m becoming moderately obsessed with this series. The writing is incredibly easy to sink into, and each story feels so distinct. As someone who’s genuinely curious about the human experience, I love that these books offer a glimpse into a world I never truly knew existed. They’ve introduced me to Kenyan culture, everyday life, and perspectives I probably wouldn’t have encountered otherwise.

A great quick read. Definitely eye-opening with lots of different stories and outcomes. Highly recommended.

Depressing stories but a few of them didn’t leave me as sad as the others.
