Star rating aside, I really enjoyed this book! It was the perfect read for me when I was in a reading slump because the short-story format didn't put too much pressure on me to keep up with names and other things you'd usually focus on in a normal one-story book. There were some misses in this book, specifically 'Goth GF'. I just didn't like it, the entire plot was pretty much a horny nothing burger. I kept waiting for the ball to drop and it never did. On the brighter side, I absolutely loved 'She's Always Hungry', 'Extinction Event', 'Nightstalkers', and 'The King'. These four chapters are amazing! They're all very different in terms of the plot but boy, do they all just hit different. I really like how Eliza Clark can just write prose in such different themes and styles, like I can't believe the same person wrote 'She's Always Hungry' and 'The King'. The reason I rated it 3.5 was that I did struggle to finish the book, as you can see from my reading dates. While it wasn't because the stories were bad (except for that single one), I just couldn't get into the other ones as much as the four chapters I mentioned. Either way, I still would recommend reading this, especially if you're in a reading slump or you're looking to just read something easy.
