A great collection of stories !
 There is something for everyone in this collection of immigrant brides, Irish, Cajun, British, Spanish... This was awesome learning some things I didn't know before. Plus I found a couple authors that I had not read before. I would definitely recommend putting this on your summer TBR pile. It is a great read to take you lots of places and times without ever having to leave your front door.
I volunteered to read this book from Barbour Publishing in exchange for my honest feedback, the thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.

An interesting collection of stories.
When I read an anthology of short stories, I don’t expect to like all of them, and I did have my favourites in this collection, with titles such as: ‘Headlights’, ‘Mouthful of Birds’ and ‘Preserves’. These, and the rest of the stories in this collection, all start off as being quite ‘normal’, nothing overly startling, but they’re lulling you in to a false sense of security. They are all decidedly quirky, uncomfortable, menacing stories.
I think collections of stories like this are generally better as books that are dipped in and out of, and used as a palate cleanser every now and again. To read them all one after the other doesn’t do them the justice that they deserve.
I am very interested to see where Schweblin goes with her next novel, she has a very interesting imagination!
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher, Oneworld Publications, for my copy of this book.

Thank you to Libro.fm and Simon & Schuster Audio for letting me listen and review this book. It's a collection of ten stories about what happens on the walks home from school and also in life. It touches and discusses topics of bullying, illnesses, figuring out who you are and what you want from life and what you want to do in life.
It's a collection of stories told by everyday people about their ordinary lives that really aren't all that ordinary when you read and think about the stories and the meanings, you can see how extraordinary all of us ordinary people in our everyday lives really are.
This is a deep and especially meaningful collection of stories about a variety of topics that we all hear about, experience or have someone close to us experience. It's definitely worth your time to read and listen to these stories. The audio is especially fun when listening to the characters in these stories.
