Loved the first two stories in this short collection, but didn't really care about the third story, which was the title story. I don't know, I'm not a fan of reading about infidelity, no matter the situation. It's also a bit triggering for me thanks to a past abusive relationship. The first two stories had spectacular use of subtle #magicalrealism qualities that I adored, however. Total rating 3.5/5
