- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really enjoyed this lovable collection of short stories. They really tapped into my personality. They are child-like with a coy, adult humour that is at times blatant, heartfelt and casual. I like the sarcasm and the lightheartedness of these stories. A happy book with a lot of subtle messages. Good read.
