I'm not a big short stories fan, but there were a few authors I really like with items in this book. The stories I enjoyed most were "Bamboo Confessions", "The Truth about Nigel", and "Andromeda on the Street of Ducklings" -- the last one was the best, I think. Most of the stories are pretty mediocre. Our book group was trying out short story ideas and we found this book. It was okay. You live, you learn. ( )

Maybe I'm just not a huge short story fan. I always feel like I want to know more about the characters, more of their story. I love Jennifer Weiner so that's why I took this one with me a vacation a couple years ago, but I really need to stop trying with these types of books. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0743496957, Paperback)

Born in the U.S.A....

American gals are taking liberties -- and pursuing happiness on their own terms -- in this star-studded story collection featuring the nation's red-hot women writers.

They've declared their independence!

Jennifer Weiner (In Her Shoes) learns "The Truth About Nigel" -- and the trouble with falling for an incognito Hollywood actor. Lauren Weisberger (The Devil Wears Prada) sends a single New Yorker on a backpacking trip halfway around the world -- where she sees her love life back home with new eyes -- in "The Bamboo Confessions." A harried mom with a hit novel crosses the pond in "My Great Brit Book Tour" by Adriana Trigiani (Lucia, Lucia), and turns a crumbling talk show appearance into a sweet success. Also uniting their talents in this free-spirited anthology are

JULIANNA BAGGOTT • CINDY CHUPACK • LYNDA CURNYN • QUINN DALTON • LAUREN HENDERSON • JUDI HENDRICKS • GRETCHEN LASKAS • CLAIRE LaZEBNIK • CHRIS MANBY • SARAH MLYNOWSKI • MELISSA SENATE • JILL SMOLINSKI • NANCY SPARLING • LAURA WOLF
