What a great collection of genuine, heartfelt stories. I actually find it a bit difficult to get into short stories. Often, they're just too brief for me to make a connection with the characters. I was totally sucked into this book though--perhaps because these are very personal stories. I polished off half the book in a single sitting!
I would also be remiss if I didn't mention the beautiful cover design. The illustrator/designers did an outstanding job on this one. This is a book that you want on your shelf for the pure loveliness of it.
I am now looking forward to The Moth podcasts for more of these bite-sized stories!
