This is a series of short stories that rivals the TV show Black Mirror. Unlike in the show, technology is not the enemy; instead, human frailty is the theme. I really enjoyed Reincarnation.
It's always a gamble when getting a book of short stories to read. Some stories resonate with you and others don't. Unfortunately, these did not, at least not the ones I read. The first story in the book, entitled "The Ethel Suite", was quite readable, but I somehow missed the point of it. When I reached the end, I had little idea what the author was trying to say. Another story about a man calling himself as a child on the phone was engaging, but it was like an interesting idea that didn't get developed. It was too short a short story. Netgalley will be the only place I leave a review, and three stars for a neutral rating, since I only read the first 50% of the book.
P.S. If the ARC was available on Kindle, I probably would have read to the end. Unfortunately, I find the page turning and font sizes on the NetGalley shelf detrimental to reading.
