...read the book.
When Possible Side Effects arrived, I read the blurbs on the back cover: a quote from the Oprah Magazine tells me that the book is ‘Tart, smart and wicked fun’, Harper’s Bazaar finds it ‘Brave, dark and screamingly funny’, add to this praise from the USA three LOL comments on Amazon.co.uk from British readers and you know why I looked forward to reading the book.
It’s a collection of 25 stories, not Short Stories, although they’re ... ...books, learn to suffer.
Possible side effects? I wonder what the title finder was thinking of, perhaps hiccups and coughing fits from excessive laughter? I can only complain of muscle ache in my jaws from excessive yawning.
Of course, it can be me who’s humorously challenged.
