Thanks to ZG Reads for a copy to review!

This was a very curious take on a story collection and one I think would be worth a reread now that I know all the characters. But it is quite graphic, immediately starting with a violent and gory fatal car crash, which did initially put me off.

Each story in this collection seems at first to stand alone, besides all having some tie to this street, Grandview Drive. We have the people who live in this stretch of houses, others who have moved away and reflect on their time here, and some who are just driving through.

After the shock of the first story, I did enjoy many of these stories, and the realization as they started to fit in together and paint the whole picture of this street. My difficulty with the collection was in keeping things straight as there are so many characters I had completely forgotten about by the time we were properly introduced to them. This test on memory, as well as unannounced and unexpected time jumps and character details changing in each story, mostly detracted on my reading so a reread would be in order to keep things straight.
