I always love books that are just stories of people’s lives. I loved the book version of “Humans of New York” because it’s fascinating to me to listen to some people talk about the lives they lived, because you never truly know what the person next to you in the supermarket or pass by on the street has been through. It’s amazing to me, too, how many people just want to talk, so they’re willing to tell their stories to total strangers.

So this book was exactly what I expected. And it was just fine. None of the stories were interesting enough to bump this book up to 4 stars, but it did what it was supposed to do and it was mildly entertaining.
