Great for the holidays!

My girlfriends and I picked up this book for our book club and I was surprised to see how much I thoroughly enjoyed the stories in this collection! Each short story left me wanting for more, yet satisfied with how each story concluded. I definitely recommend it.

Nice Holiday Read

I quite enjoyed myself reading this book, it is so cosy you can't help but to get the Christmas vibe .. I enjoyed it so much and I enjoyed the narrators performances ( except the one who narrated The Lady and The Fox she was distracting ) I really recommend this book if you are looking for a light read to get you in the mood for the holidays and here are my ratings for the stories:

Midnights by Rainbow Rowell 4\5

The Lady and the Fox by Kelly Link 0.5\5

very enjoyable :)

Felt incomplete

Most stories in this in this collection either didn't make sense at the end or had many things unanswered.

Mediocre at best

I only enjoyed chapters 6 and 11. The rest were boring. Find yourself a more joyful book for your Christmas season reading.

Dumb

I didn't like it. I'm not interested in teenage live stories. Too much whining.
