28/6 Day 28- Read a short story from a new author



Well, this isn't what I had planned to read for short story/new author day but it was convenient! Having not made it to the state library as planned I remember I had seen this hanging about.

I thought it was fiction, not that I dislike non-fiction but I wasn't expecting it. It was pretty average. I learnt a few things but it wasn't particularly well written and I thought a bit culturally disrespectful in places.

I only made it through 1.5 short "stories" (themes really) and don't plan on reading anymore. I read the "holy cow" and "arranged marriages". I feel like there could have been many more interesting things that could have been said in both chapters.

Not a recommendation in sight but it was definitely a...new June!
