55 short stories has got to be hard to develop, but I'm glad to know that the author did such a good job overall creating interesting and engaging characters and continuously surprising the reader. Grammar errors are too bad, though.

I like the idea of flash fiction stories being this inspirational. The OCD story sounded especially interesting. Thanks for the review!

Nice review! Your review totally matches my thoughts after reading through the online sample. The author has some incredible talent to paint such complete pictures with so few words.

Wow how interesting about the endings... makes me curious to read this, even though I typically stay away from short story collections. It's also quite a skill to be able to craft a good story within such a small number of pages!
