About the book
After selling through the self-published run of Same Difference and Other Stories in just a few short months, Derek Kirk Kim proudly moves his debut collection to Top Shelf! Through a series of sensitive - and often hilarious - short stories, Kim deftly explores the not-so-average twenty-something's quarter-life crisis, romantic neurosis, and a refreshing slice of Korean-American life.

My take
The first story "Same Difference" was really great. I loved the characters and found the story to be funny and insightful at the same time. The "other stories" weren't very cohesive and that really turned me off. I would have liked them to have had similar themes, but some of them seemed to be the same story told in a different way, and others were out of left field. I am split on this one.
