I listened to this book and I'm glad I did. Part of the [fictional] story involves a podcast in which the narration included interviews from the podcast. Good narration and a story which keeps you guessing.

3.5 stars

A well done story that interweaves characters and experiences. Judy Blume has a knack for writing about life in a way that the reader can identify with the emotions her characters feel and grapple with. I like that. Although it's a fictional story, the events that the story is rooted in actually happened.

3.5 Interesting enough and I'm glad I listened to it.

I'm not sure what I think about this book. I'd probably rate it with 2.5 stars. Normally I enjoy short stories, but these were odd in that most of them didn't have a concrete ending. I guess I like that in my stories. The Indian culture and traditions were highlighted in each story, but I didn't get enough of the story to really understand those traditions. But I did find them oddly interesting - just wish there was more to them.
