"Twelve Twitter Stories"
Very odd short stories, most of them leading to short, bad endings. Like the cooking class heart one, shooting the mother, kissing one that gets lost in the air, but also metaphors and contradicting stories.
"Hunchback"
Honestly was a sad story to follow, felt bad for the narrator for her to feel this way because of how much she was crippled it felt like she would do anything to repeat what normal people would do that they hate to do. Like I feel like if she would be happy to be a homeless person that is able to beg on the streets, she would rather that and it makes me feel horrible that I read that story and feel that way. This was especially noticed to me when she would have loved it, to be pregnant but then get an abortion, because that is not what most typical people would like, however she would have loved that to happen to her.
"I want to kick you in the back "
Not a bad story read at all. At some parts I was scared since the narrator would put words in my head and talk about things that might happen to her but honestly one of the tamest books so far. She seemed very sad a lonely so far, a somewhat theme going on around through all these books. Kinda sad that her friend left her, in the beginning but she somewhat made a new friend with that lonely boy as well. Oddly obsessive with a magazine model, yes, but I feel somehow, it is tying in with his personal life. Almost like he is buying gifts and waiting to find her to bring her back, almost like she is his mother or sister somehow.
"People who talked to stuffed animals"
Thought it was odd that they talked to stuffed animals but made more sense as people talked to the animals in order to not be judge to what happens to them. The love dynamic is so odd between the main character and all the others, but all the others love dynamic with other people as well. Dating someone seven years ahead in high school in Japan is quite odd but then again, a room stuffed with 350 plushies itself is weird a whole club dedicated to talking to them.
"The Hole"
Almost like a regular story, day in the life of a regular housewife that has no job and stays at home with family all day until she fell into a hole. It was almost like it was the most interesting thing she could talk abot at dinner since she does not have much to do anymore at home so when she fell into a hole it was an event she wanted to tell her husband after quitting her job.
