Here Is What You Do: Stories by Chris Dennis

Did not finish book. Stopped at 31%.

After reading the first three of these short stories, I just found myself underwhelmed and moderately bored. There wasn’t anything captivating or memorable about the stories I read, so I decided not to finish the collection. Not for me.

5.0

Harrow was just as incredible as Gideon, although it does contain significantly more gore in my opinion.
As with Gideon, in the first 1/2 of the book, you really feel like you’re trying to put together a 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle with no reference picture. But as the pieces start to come together, it makes the whole endeavor worth it. I love these characters as if they were my own friends, and I can’t wait to see what they get up to in Nona.
