Another one bites the dust.
First story is Aloeswood Incense. Lovely but bittersweet. Love is a dangerous drug. 3.5/5.
Second story: Jasmine Tea. OMFG. What an unlikeable, heinous character, rendering this short story practically unreadable. 0.5/5 stars.
That last story soured the entire reading experience for me. I knew this book wasn't for me after I realized that I refused to bring it in my commute to and from the uni. I downright preferred to stare into nothingness than continue reading this book. The two stories I managed to finish are bitter and there is no semblance of hope in any of them.
I'm sorry, but I am in no mood to keep misery company. I prefer to read anything other than this.
Time to Paperbackswap this title.
