rating:
This isn't a book I probably would have picked up if one of Nick's friends (who'd read it for a lit class) hadn't loaned it to me.
Normally, I'm not a big fan of short stories, but I really enjoyed Moore's in this collection. She has a style of writing that is unique and there were lines that really stuck with me. Some of the stories I liked more than others (How to Be an Other Woman one of them).
There is a definite theme to the collection: Of loss, relationship heartache, parental heartache, but the book is a quick, intelligent read if anyone is interested.
