review 1: I don't usually read collections of short stories. I had no idea this book was one until I started reading. I also may have chosen this book because my niece and the author have pretty much the same name, and there was something about the cover that I liked. These are not great reasons to choose a book, but I read it, and it was pretty lovely. There is even a line from one of the stories that keeps getting stuck in my head, complete with melody. This one definitely goes in the 'to share' box.
review 2: For my Book Club I read this short story collection and another by Elizabeth Berg --- I enjoyed Elizabeth Berg's better because the stories seemed to end better. However, there were a few that I really, really liked --- for example, the first one with the clipb... moreoard . These stories were all about relationships, and I found that very valuable of a theme --- then the next 4 or 5 stories I liked, but they had what I would consider, ineffective endings ---up in the air. Sometimes that works, but these didn't seem to. After I went to the book club, I heard that the kindle had a bunch of notes on the stories, if I went to the extras in the back. Perhaps they would have helped me to enjoy this ss collection a bit more. I do intend to get back to the notes, so maybe I'll edit this review eventually. But right now, not sold on it. less
