I listened to this audiobook of short stories on Libby after it popped on my radar as a July Indie Next pick. This is a collection of 11 tales set in the south that cover a lot of content: pregnancy, violence, sex and intimacy, church, hair, Blackness and more. Nearly all of the vignettes felt forgettable and most seemed unresolved in my opinion. The narration was solid but the stories didn’t captivate me. My hands-down favorite from the bunch was “How Does Your Garden Grow?” which is a memorable and unique depiction of fibroids.

This is an awesome book I think everyone should read it!

I honestly shouldn't even reveal that I read this because it's so bad and embarrassing but I have to just in order to tell people NOOOOO DON'T READ IT, IT'S SOOOOO BAD, romance that should be classed as psychological horror

Hilarious and ridiculous and the drawing make it even better!

I liked it because it teaches you that if you do not try something you will never know

This is such a good book, especially to get you into those summer vibes. It has a nostalgic feeling for those people who go to sleep-away camps in the summer!

I like what this book is about.

This is a sweet story about children welcoming their parent home from a trip with the things they think are important to him. When they arrive at the airport with all of the things, their dad lovingly accepts the grand gesture and also lets them know they are the best part of coming home. The illustrations are bright and fun.

It feels as though you are going insane with the main character. As the book slowly devolves into symbolism over story, it leaves you grasping for explanation and theorizing like a madman. I loved not only the story, but the experience as well.

I loved this book because it was very funny and entertaining! It is about a girl who goes to Paris and runs into so many surprises on the way! I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good story!
