The review is interesting in the way the author goes back and forth between criticizing and understanding what you are trying to do with your stories. I also like that she mentions how everyone calls your stories "raw." It's a word that I never use in my own reviews because I feel like it's an overly-simplistic way of the reviewer saying that you wrote about certain topics in such a way that he/she hadn't read before nor did he/she find it totally palatable (it is not the job of the writer to make hard topics "palatable") and that the reviewer cannot believe you "went there." Overall, I think it's a positive review, Paula!

Thanks Melanie! I also found it unique with her back and forth thing - seems sloppy, maybe purposeful ( was purposeful)... And so on. Her last sentence intrigued me the most. It was all about her and not in a bad way. I'm grateful.
