"The ten inter-related stories in [this collection] are held together by a surreally intricate web of cause and effect--one that slowly ensnares both fictional bystanders and ... readers"--Dust jacket flap.

Review of "There's something I want you to do" on 'Storygraph'

2 stars

There were a couple stories in this collection I enjoyed, but overall I think as a collection it was really grasping for some sort of ~form~ that was supposed to lead to a greater meaning that it didn't really achieve. All of the stories having the same type of title and being centered around some sort of characteristic made them seem simplistic and kitschy. Also there were more stories from the POV of one of the characters while all of the others only had one story which was weird. I wouldn't recommend reading the whole thing for sure, but I do think the story titled Charity was good/worth reading. Not amazing though.
