Everything Inside

This book is a collection of short stories. The first four stories weren't my favorite. The main characters were naive and flat. The last four were much more interesting. Though every story had underlying darkness in some way. Not the best book to read while in a depressive state and there are several trigger warnings. I liked that the author put a little piece of herself into all of her stories and some history of Haiti. Sunrise, Sunset was my favorite story included in this book. The alternating perspectives and glimpse into dementia was gripping. I'm not a huge fan of short stories because there rarely seems to be enough time to become invested in the story or the characters, and in the rare case you do become invested, it ends abruptly. Overall, it was okay. Was I moved? No. Did I dislike the experience of reading it? Also, no.
