Thank you Netgalley and Publisher for letting me read this ARC in exchange for an unbiased review!
I was super surprised with these beautiful stories! They were refreshing and unique. At first, I was a bit confused on what the stories were trying to do, specifically with the sex scenes. They were unexpected and sometimes felt ill-fitting for the tone of certain stories here. I wasn't sure if they were supposed to be a critical analysis of bad male behavior or just stories of unusual relationships with eroticism mixed in. But I think they can totally be both. That's one of my favorite parts of this collection. It can be lighthearted and fun while also saying something important about culture, gender, and status. The last story is, in my opinion, the most powerful (and also the most triggering, i'm sure). While some endings fell flat or rushed, this one was particularly perfect. Overall this was so good and I'd recommend it to probably everyone!
