These short stories are exceptional. I got through five of them, and thought each of them was great, and I knew I should probably skip the sixth based on reviews, but I didn't, and I didn't see it coming, and now I have to put it down. It's not you, Ms. Arimah, it's me. A single mother and her young daughter make a living by suing for slip-and-fall injuries that the mother orchestrates on purpose. The daughter gets pregnant when she's a teenager. At six months along, she slips and falls on accident and lands on her belly in a way that can only be described as violent, and she loses the baby. Her mother is only able muster up excitement for how big the settlement is for this.
