Review
I'm not usually one for short stories but these are great reads and you don't get to the end and feel like there should be more, or wondering what happened. Each one is a perfect little life lesson.
When I read the first story I wasn't really expecting it to be quite so off the wall, but once I realised the stories are not totally set in the real world I was fine with it. A little like fairy tales but not always with a happy ever after ending.
My favourite has to be "The woman who thought the grass was greener on the other side" this one actually made me laugh out loud" as well as getting over the message. Another favourite was "The woman who was Pigeonholed."
So if you want a little escapism but with a little wake up call then these are the stories for you. My advice is to read a few at a time and look forward to the rest. I will be re reading them from time to time. I'm giving this book five out of five stars. My thanks to Netgalley for an ARC of the book.
