I think a 3.5 I’m rounding down.

My favorites were The Red Ribbon, Faces, and Lemonade. Lemonade was my absolute favorite despite it being from the perspective of a teen. It gets into the mind of a self-conscious, nervous teen girl which was funny sad.

But most of these were quite forgettable and meh to me unfortunately. I skipped much of Bad Return and didn’t even finish the last story because I cared so little in those cases. Most collections from one author don’t have quite so much range of reaction from me, so this is a weird one.

I liked enough here to want to try something else by the author, though.
