“I wish there was a 2.5 because this was truly neutral for me.
Thumbprints is a collection of short stories. I found this book at a discount store, and really liked the cover so I picked it up.
Short story format is not my cup of tea, but the stories were intriguing and complex and unique. I will say that some stories I believe deserved more time, while others probably could've been better with a sooner ending but overall I can see the appeal.”
