Overall I would say this is a 4.5 for me with the deduction coming from Kennedy's treatment of the male characters. Many women write rich male and nonbinary characters, this is not an own-voices issue, but there is a sameness to Kennedy's men and the things that drive them. I found them hard to distinguish at certain times. I occasionally found myself in the middle of a story and realized I was conflating the male lead in that story with one from the previous story. These men are all crammed full of feelings they have no way to process or express, feelings they work out through sublimation or by straight-up deception followed by repentance and/or self-flagellation. For the most part, Kennedy is telling women's stories so this is not a huge issue, but in a couple of stories she gives the reader a male POV and those stories were weaker than the others in the collection. Overall though, this is just an unrelenting pleasure to read (which is not to say it is filled with happiness, quite the opposite.)… (meer)
