    Reader note

    The first six stories focus on family relationships, with no romantic pairings, but each character is well-developed, the plot is interesting, and it doesn't feel forced or abrupt. They're very good. The seventh and eighth stories are angst-filled; I don't know if you'll find them angsty, but I cried for a long time while reading them. After finishing "Mistakenly Recognizing the Stars," I felt a sense of regret because it was so close to a happy ending. The "Breakup Videotape" story has a really well-written epilogue (the tears I managed to hold back in the main story felt incredibly cheap in the epilogue) (the "finale scene" is the best [crying emoji]). The last two books have romantic pairings, and their descriptions are very dreamy and fairytale-like; they're super good.
