Hard to follow, well written book that has confusion, laughter and uhhhh.
It grabbed my interest from the beginning but lost me as the story kept on. I get it. But wouldn’t reread it. Little girl is a hoot though.

2 stars for awesome concept and moments of brilliance. But the execution and the ... story? Not remotely for me. And to be clear, I *am* a mom of a toddler. So I haven’t “forgotten,” I just don’t think this hits it. Not for me anyway.
I enjoyed the prose and the weirdness but it didn't quite pull together for me.

I will say, this collection didn't wow me quite as much as I thought it was going to after reading the first couple of stories, as not all of them worked nearly as well for me as those did. But even the ones I didn't entirely get or click with were still bizarrely intriguing, and they're all very well-written. If you like this kind of strange, thought-provoking stuff, this is definitely one to check out.… (meer)
