Roar by Cecelia Ahern

Lynnie

short stories, fiction

30 stories, each about a different woman as she navigates through the realities of family, work, life, and existence with a little magical realism.

I read Cecelia Ahern's P.S. I Love You a long time ago and thought a short story collection about women overcoming adversity would be a nice way to reintroduce myself to her writing. And Roar was... nice. And boring. And sadly, monotonous. With only a few exceptions where stories made me chuckle or smile, most of the stories, and the women in them, blurred together.

I just never connected with it. While I had hoped to feel sisterhood with the women in the stories, I really never did.
