I received this book in return for an honest review and honestly I was completely surprised by how much I enjoyed this collection of stories. The author has put together stories that make you think and reflect and are each separate and unique. I truly enjoyed this read and will watch for more from this writer. This is a must read because you will enjoy it. ( )

This collection of short stories was both enjoyable as entertainment and thought-provoking as glimpses into lives and situations. Unlike one other reviewer, I don't think one's race or gender is, or at least should be, an obstacle to identifying with characters in a work of fiction. If one has empathy for other humans, or other beings in general, identification with a character is essential to both appreciating literature and other people in everyday life. How could one read most fantasy or science fiction if one could only identify with people just like ourselves? These stories range from humorous to heartbreaking, with underlying topics well worth pondering on a larger scale. For those not limited by empathy issues. ( )

I enjoyed the stories in this book. Each story seemed to have a more serious underlying topic which didn't take away from the story itself. If I had to pick a favorite, I think it would be 'Leap Frog' simply because not only was it humorous but it also explored the relationship between the two females a little more in depth. I also enjoyed 'Babble' because it made a very important point in a quick and subtle way. Actually, there was something I liked about each story. And some of them definitely make you think and/or use your imagination.

While reading this book I did notice that there were some grammatical errors that were overlooked but are easily fixed. In the end I didn't feel they necessarily impacted the quality of the stories. I would recommend this book. ( )

This collection of short stories are written beautifully. The stories are moving and very real, but as a white female I have a hard time identifying with the characters. ( )

Was not impressed. Poorly written even more poorly edited. Most the short stories needed with No closure what so ever. And of the short stories only one had decent plot play to it. Took me three weeks to read the measly 89 pages, as I simply couldn't get into it. ( )
