Unfortunately, I found this collection to be very inconsistent. It has great stories and stories I didn't like, which came down to length and pacing. Some were just too long and I think the book could have profited from a little more editing. Most of the stories would have had more impact if they were shorter, I think.The Husband Stitch⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Really liked it. The description of everyday activities with this constant tension made it memorable.Inventory⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Seeing a catastrophie unfold from a purely introspective perspective was really new and interesting for me.Mothers⭐⭐ - Unfortunately, too long for me and motherhood isn't really my topic.Especially Heinous / Season 5 / Season 8⭐ - I think this was 2 or 3 separate stories, but they all go together. Unfortunately I skipped them, they were too long, too detailed and too incoherent for me to listen to.Real Women Have Bodies⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Really liked this one, maybe a tad too long.8 Bites⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Loved it! Very unsettling, very relevant, very creepy.The Resident⭐⭐⭐⭐ - I loved the atmosphere of the story.Difficult at Parties⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Very interesting and impactful concept.
