This is the first book I’ve read by LaRocca and I am intrigued. The first novella in this collection was my favorite and definitely the one that stands out the most. Each story has characters desperate for connection with others in anyway they can get it, all three are dark and pretty disturbing. I gave this a 3.5 stars because while I did enjoy the novella the other three stories weren’t as memorable in my opinion. I look forward to reading more...read more
I don't really know what to say here..
I love the cover of this book, it's very pretty.
BUT the stories...
The first one, was just gross.
The second one, had me all sorts of confused.
The thing that saved this entire book for me was the last story of the 3. It had some humor behind it as well as a decent lesson so I did enjoy that part.
I wouldn't exactly recommend this book unless you like disturbing short stories.
