review 1: When I was about half-way through this book, I decided to read some other reviews, which is where I found out that the author is fairly young. This surprised me, because the writing seems to come from someone who has had a lot of life experiences. Many of the stories reminded me of situations or people I either know or have known in the past -- even the really peculiar ones, and this tossed me into a bit of a time-warp that was a little uncomfortable. But I suspect that "a little uncomfortable" is exactly what the author wanted her readers to feel.
review 2: Captivating. I ordered this book not realizing it was a collection of short stories which I usually do not enjoy as much as a novel, but this collection definitely changed my mind. The characters were ful... morely developed and as lovable or detestable in short story form as they could ever be in a novel. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, but always poignant, the stories capture people in relationships showing our human need for intimacy and companionship even when lacking the skills to make it work. I would love to read more by this author. less
