I love love love Machado’s writing style, it’s beautiful and poetic and I just want to read so much more. Some of the stories fell short for me but all of them were good, some resonated more than others and some I found myself skimming through a little. My only issue is that a lot of things were repeated, certain words or phrases or scenarios and that’s just a pet peeve of mine specifically LOL nothing against the author. Inventory was my favorite story.
