I never really know what to say about short story collections but I really enjoyed this!! I don't think any were doing super revolutionary things but I was super invested in all of them, which for me is HARD when it's short stories! An awesome debut, would love to read a full novel from Philyaw because she's really great at creating some vivid characters
