"One of the hardest books I've ever read. One of the best books I've ever read. "

"Captivating short stories that are not too far off but still dystopian. We can almost touch them but hope that we never do. I couldn't put the book down."

"I listened to the author read a passage on TikTok and I was very upset when he finished. I needed to know what happened next! So I bought it. I had to. You can't just leave me hanging like that. I'm hooked. I just started but I'm not disappointed. I'"

“do not expect me to mend your cuts while i lie here bleeding out. i've been your crying shoulder long enough! when is it my turn to shed a tear? i've heard all about your life a couple of times, can't i simply tell you about my day without you interrupting? i am more than just a bed for the night, you know? more than a number on your phone. more than a shoulder to lean on and cry on. more than a sweater to keep you warm. there is blood inside my veins. a beating heart behind its cage. a soul hidden beneath bones. i am more than a tissue to be thrown out. you cannot recycle me! though i do breakdown quite easily. your words don't die when they jump off your tongue. no, no, no. they live forever inside of my mind. i haven't forgotten the secrets you whispered to me in the dead of night. do you remember mine? or did i just swallow them down when you neglected to ask? did i cover up my scars, not for coldness, but for the obviousness that their stories were unwanted? can you remember how i looked that night? i remember everything about you.”
