The stories captivate from the middle ('Love Song', 'Smoke',...) onward. I also like some of the first stories, even though their author makes use of strong language & sordid incidents by lowlifes. All in all, the reader empathizes with characters' human frailties through Leach's narrative & dialogue. She musters up bizarre family connections, tenacious romantic memories, unforeseen realities, and physical defects.

The last stories, 'All the Secret Things No-one Ever Knows' & 'Love It When You Come, Hate It When You Go', differ from each other. The former describes the amoral relationship of a father to his female & male children. When he divorces his wife & ends his relationship with his daughter, the latter plots his murder. The other (title) story narrates the ups & downs between a successful artist & an IT professional.
