In an collection of stories more missed the mark than hit.

DNF quit on page 226. Surprised I made it that far.
I was really hoping this book would give both sides of the story. Like the perspective of someone who supports Brexit and someone who does not support it. And a few stories did do that but far too few. Most were bias, one sided, and therefore not interesting.
Not my cup of tea.
