This is a beautiful collection of short stories. What I hadn't expected is that all these stories are connected in some way.
They all take place in small towns in the US and the cast of characters are related in some way, either by trauma or by passing.
The stories are all thoughtfully told. Bonnie-Sue takes her time and focuses on what's important about these people. There's no fluff, there's just beautiful, painful and heartwarming stories in this collection.
I'm sad I read this book on my Kindle. There are so many paragraphs and sentences I wanted to mark and annotate. I will pick up a physical copy as soon as it's out so that I can take it all in one more time because this short story collection really deserves that.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a review copy!
