I was afraid when starting this book that it would just be a collection of mediocre stories joined by their superficial connection to the lost manuscript that gives its name to the title. Ultimately, I thought that that connection was indeed pretty tenuous, but the stories ended up being much more engaging than I was expecting, and I raced through the book in just a couple of sittings. Overall, I'd say the book is much more style than substance, but I'd recommend as a beach or plane read.
Thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for the ARC!
