I particularly liked the stories by Alexander Chee, Brandon Taylor, and Allison Mills. Not every story landed for me, but they were all well done, and the ones that did land were very good, indeed.

This was a really enjoyable collection. A plethora of different characters, diverse stories. Well worth a read. Full disclosure: Junot Diaz has a short story in this collection that I completely disregarded because I‘m not reading anything else from that guy...

readordierachel Same. I started and never finished Oscar Wao. Always thought I would pick it up later. Not anymore. 7y
Julsmarshall In total agreement @TheNextBook and @ReadOrDieRachel I started Oscar Wai and 😝 so glad I didn‘t buy or finish it. I will give the rest of Everyday people a chance. (edited) 7y
TheNextBook I read Oscar Wao for @LitsyFeministBookClub I didn‘t mind his writing style but there were definitely aspects that bothered me! I was looking forward to reading more but nope not anymore 7y
TheNextBook @Julsmarshall I am not going anywhere near anything else of his but I recommend this collection 7y

#keepingitshort This is only the second collection that I‘m reading for this year‘s short story theme! I‘ve been excited to start this since I got it from the publisher. There are 15 stories in this anthology, with a plethora of backgrounds and some well known authors
