Edible Stories took me forever to read. Mostly because I was reading it when I almost died and went to the ER. (OK I didn’t almost die but it felt like it.) I was confused – I thought it was just short stories, “just” being the important word here. I didn’t realize the stories were all tied to each other, even though TW started telling me stuff about the characters in the first story that weren’t in the first story. I thought it was just TW making stuff up or reading stuff into the story that wasn’t there… because she does that. But no, the stories are all tied together and that helped me get through the book eventually. A couple of the stories… I didn’t much like. But overall, it wasn’t a bad book. I’d have probably liked it more if I’d read it while I was not on my death bed.
