Narrators chef kiss, wow awesome selection and great job by them. And the stories so damn good. They are unique and different . Each has a totally different style and feeling. Enjoyed immensely. Loved every second of it

I am a huge fan of Olivie Blake's writing so I was beyond excited to dive into her short story collection. All of these stories are essentially about love, but often in unexpected ways. Toxic love, platonic love, motherly love, obsessive love. Interwoven throughout all of the stories is a kind of dark, fairy tale magic that changes from story to story but also felt cohesive. As with all short story collections there were standout favorites and some that I loved less, but overall this was an amazing collection. I'm already planning to return to on Monsterlove once I have children someday because as powerful as it was now, I'm positive it will be exponentially more powerful in the future.

The audiobook was a delight with different narrators to best fit each of the short stories and I definitely recommend this to Olivie Blake fans and anyone looking for an intro to her writing.

I enjoyed this fun new short story collection from Olivie Blake. I've enjoyed her writing for many years so it's fun to see her work on a new project now that Atlas Six is completeted. My favorite story is the one with the moon bridge, super cute and felt like it came full circle. Excited to see what she has come out next!

I did like most of the narrortors too!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this earlier copy in exchange for my honest review.

I recently listened to the Januaries audiobook, and it was an incredible experience! The multiple narrator's voices brought the stories to life, perfectly capturing the emotional depth of each character. The themes of choices and second chances resonated deeply, making me reflect on my own life. The pacing was just right, keeping me engaged from start to finish. I highly recommend this audiobook for anyone looking for an inspiring and thought-provoking listen!
