    Just Okay

    I hate giving bad or just okay reviews but this book didn't do it for me. I was not able to connect to any of the characters or any of the stories. Each story left me empty, I was hoping the next short story would be better but it did not happen. I don't even have a favorite story. Sorry this was not a good book for me.
