Mehso-so

I liked this book; I didn't love this book.
I liked how sex was dealt with in an uncompromising and direct way. I liked the dream-like quality of some of the stories.
For me, I would have liked a little more. Some of the stories felt too short and even unfinished. This I feel would have made me care more. I enjoyed the two longer pieces which bookended the short stories.
