Fresh Complaint

This is a perfectly decent book of short stories. I enjoyed them, but did not love them. The title is apt as each story centers around a person with a chief life complaint – no independence, financially-constrained, societally-constrained, etc... and in each person trying to address their complaint, there's a feeling of futility, or perhaps a grass-is-greener conclusion? I dunno. Seemed like a bunch of short stories about kind of shitty people, doing weird or shitty things (not always, though). Also as usual with books of short stories, some were far better than others. All seemed to end in very unclear, abrupt ways, which I liked as it allows the reader much room for interpretation.

I realize this is a vague review, but that's because I have only vague feelings about this book.
