A series of Sad Mostly Sad Stories

I can only assume this was a collection of the author’s short stories pooled together in a book. I was grateful to have won this book in a giveaway, I was very excited it was my first ever.

Each story is very well written, every one with a completely different character and subject. The only thing that most of the stories have in common is that they are either tragic, sad, or at least a little melancholy in nature. The good thing about these stories are that they take you into the lives of people you might otherwise not think about. That being said, I usually avoid very depressing stories so the author might have gotten a higher rating with a little more happiness, but I don’t think that was what Circa24 was going for. I gave it a 3.5 but rounded up for excellent writing style and a couple of touching stories about couples.drama lbgt literature ...more5 s Kathy2,527 38
