review 1: Great collection of short stories. Some more successful than others. Applaud the arrangement of stories - all of the stories about Lola are separated into their own section - ta da! - Lola Stories. No guessing if the stories are related - they definitely are.Should I Be Scared is about the most perfect short story I've ever read and the one I can't stop talking about in writing group.The Way The Sky Changed and Miss Montana's Wedding Day are also favorites.
review 2: Great to see Amanda Ward flex her short fiction muscles. She has a way with dialogue and, while she'd never admit it, lines ring like little poem conflagrations throughout. For example:"Lola thought about her father suddenly, understanding for the first time that he must have been trying to allevia... morete unbearable pain by abandoning them."There is a ton in that line!!or: "To the baby, Lola would smell like a mother, and the ridiculous chandelier would look like stars."Each of those appear on pgs 149/ 150 of this edition, respectively. Nuff said. less
