I really like how some of the stories are tied together. It's a really neat touch since collections rarely do that.
What I'm really here for is the first story. The way it foreshadowed the twist was really great and it blended in well with most of the scenes. It felt very organic but not unnoticeable.
It's one of those works that makes more sense once you read it back. As soon as I finished it, I re-read it in order to see the hints and I was surprised that my mind immediately made an excuse for the most of it the first time I read it.
What I hate the most about twist endings is if there's no set-up, but it happened anyways. The first story isn't like that at all which makes me more than happy to give it a 5*.
The other stories are okay, but it pales in comparison to the first story imo.
