I feel like this collection started off so strong because the first two short stories I ended up giving them five stars like I loved the first two in this collection and then I feel like most of the stories after that ended up being like okay for me

Loved

there was just something about this I couldn't deny that it was five stars it was so well written it was so interesting being in the head of this character was just like unlike anything I've ever read before in my life

Liked

I just ended up really enjoying my time reading this one I thought it was so fast-paced it's like one of those perfect Thrillers that you could read all within like one or two sittings because it's very quick

Mixed

I really liked Francis as a character and I love that you know we got her perspective in flashback chapters of when she was you know a 16-year-old in the 1960s so I like that we were going back and forth between two different timelines in this book but there were also so many freaking characters that it got so confusing

Disliked

I was just so bored throughout this entire story like I didn't find it to be that creepy either and the ending was not very satisfying I don't know this one was just not for me unfortunately I gave it two stars

Mixed

I do think that this was a really you know beautifully written thought-provoking kind of literary fiction novel talking about the struggles of a family moving to America and dealing with a lot of obstacles with coming here

Loved

I also loved in this book how they are kind of like all romantically like involved with each other in different ways like there's a lot of messy romance in this book which was such a huge selling point for me
