The story and the art for this game are really good. The characters are cool, the developing world is cool. But all of this is framed by long runs through town looking for short conversations or trying to get to the next part of the story, which is pretty boring.

I heard this was originally meant to be a short story. I believe that 100%

I liked the character and I like what this book stood for and all of that, I really did. I just can't get over how long it took me to read this short little thing, so I'm going to focus on that.
This would've been a great book if it were 50-60 pages long. But it's nearly 200! It just dragged on and on, so much so that I could hardly remember the enjoyable thing I had just read 20 minutes prior. The length ruined it that much!
I'm curious to know what this story would've been like if Gaiman had kept it as the intended short story. Probably much better. Probably.
  
This is a collection of four short stories, of weddings and falling in love. Each story has amazing characters which bring there own stories to the book. These are quick short stories, which make you feel good. Lots of romance, love and swoon worthy male characters.



Highly recommended collection

I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

I really like Tobias and I'm glad that I read this short story. It was really interesting to read about Tobias and find out his feelings. I really wish that this was longer, 100 pages would have been nice but a full length novel would be the best. I guess I will just have to wait to read the other short stories.

This is a collection of seven short stories in manga format. Most of the stories were fine, considering the short length. My only real complaint is that the last story should not have been the last. The book should have ended maybe with one of the first few, instead. The stories were all fairly different from one another, which was nice.
  
I love rl Stine but this one wasn't a favorite of mine. the story was cute but the characters annoyed me. I wanted to kill the cousin myself lol..overall it was a cute short read

For a short/novella length story this had quite a good, strong plot. I wasn't too keen on the ending though...I'd have preferred it a bit happier, as in them actually together properly in an open relationship where they could see each other regularly but it was still a nice, sweet story.

The Yellow Wallpaper is an exquisitely written short story that captures perfectly the feelings of anxiety. It is hard to say that I enjoyed reading this story only because the feelings of reading it leave you filled with a sick anxiety. You cannot help but feel along with the main character. This is a beautiful story that I would highly recommend giving a read.

Very emotional
This is such a heart wrenching story. As someone who has been through something similar albeit at an older age, this really rang true. It's a very stark and honest book about grief, very well written with a very relatable main character. It is pretty short, maybe too short but this doesn't detract from tbe story and considering the subject matter, it is fairly predictable. The ending really made me cry, it deals with the subject matter in such an elegant way.
