Book Rating
This collection of very short stories gives us a glimpse into the lives of the inhabitants of The Quarter. It's fascinating to see the opinions and lives of people who are so removed from my own life. An enjoyable, quick read. Many thanks to The Pigeonhole for serialising this book!

"The author of A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius is definitely one of the best writers around. No one can put you in a world quite like he can. And in How We Are Hungry, a book of short stories, you have the luxury of having that experience multiple times."

The short stories in this are brilliant. There were a few that I ended up skipping (mainly just because I didn’t get along with the style of them) but I did read the majority of the short stories.

My favourites were by Jenny Han, Rainbow Rowell and David Levithan. They were all so festive and really got me in the festive spirit.

I also love the binding of this book! The page edges are a bright pink which is completely my colour! I also love hardbacks that have a bookmark in them – they are lifesavers!

I can’t believe that a collection with as many big names as this actually exists! I was in heaven while reading it!
