![]() ![]() Bad guy gets his come-uppance in a very satisfying way. Story #6-7.do people like her really exist? Irritating, but you can't hate her because she's really trying the best she can. Guilt makes more sense but that's not the tone. I liked the build-up, totally reasonable teen hysterics there. Maybe guilt? I liked the, again, very realistic twist in the middle. Maybe it's the theme of the anthology, but it just doesn't make any sense why he'd do that. The titular story #5, Happiness, was going good until that dumb end. Good contrast to story #3, which was a bit more reality-bending but still had grim high school girls and close female friendship. High school girls can be grim, lol, and I think this story captured it in a realistic way. "What If?", story #4, was is an excellent chaser to 'Song of the Devil.' I like the implication, the focus on close female friendship, and that it's just a simple morbid slice of life. The first two were just trying too hard to be "messed up" in my opinion - I just rolled my eyes, tbh. I only really liked story #3 "Song of the Devil," really a stand-out story among the rest of them in tone and layering. ![]()
