The stories are entertaining (if a little aimless at times) and super fun in that Sloane's voice is so distinct. Even given the short time I knew her at Random House, her writing evokes a memory of her real-life mannerisms that is so vivid as to be eerie. I envy that type of ability to impress one's self. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/849135?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
