“*read for school*
my favorite stories:
a guide to the fruits of hawai’i
their changing bodies
the mirages”
“This is a wonderful collection, all of the stories felt entirely new and fresh. If you love speculative short stories, in particular sci-fi with a focus on the lives of ordinary people, you need to give this collection a go.”
“I deeply admire Alaya Dawn Johnson's writing style and she is one of my favorite authors for sure, so I was definitely excited to dive into these short stories—and I was not disappointed. ADJ always manages to blow me away with such beautiful language, paired with soul-crushing pathos even within such short pieces and so many deep questions about humanity, love, faith, race and dichotomies, that she wraps up in these gorgeous science fiction/fantasy worlds. And she doesn't hold your hand through any of these works. I won't say that every story was a 5/5 for me, obviously, as I would have rated the whole collection that way if it were—but the ones that hit me really hit me right in the feelings.”
