1922: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Big Driver: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fair Extension: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A Good Marriage: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I gave the book 5 stars overall and 3 of the 4 stories got 5s from me too. The only one I gave a 4 to was Big Driver. It was the longest of the bunch, dragged a tiny bit in the middle, and the ending was a kind of sad I don't like, true to life, but sad.
The other three were all five stars in my opinion. This book has a LOT of difficult subject matter, so be sure to check content warnings before reading if you have any specific triggers.
