The Lonesome Bodybuilder

I have mixed feelings about this collection. Except for an abrupt and anticlimactic ending, the first story about the bodybuilder is excellent. However, among the rest, only an Exotic Marriage and Fitting Room caught my eye. The rest are absolutely forgetable. Nevertheless, I liked the author's ingenious premises, so I will check her other stories.

this was so fun to read!! prior to opening this up, i was in the mood for a whimsical, more silly read, and i'm happy i got that with some of the stories here. besides some of the more lighthearted ones, motoya has a great way of introducing more politically & societally relevant topics. overall, just a very fun style to read. could not put it down!
