Her stories are little vignettes from lives that I recognized more often than not. I'm not a short story fan as a rule, but these were very satisfying moments from interesting lives. I'm hoping Sutherland is working on a big fat novel, but if she's sticking with stories, I'm up for that too. Highly recommended, even if you think you don't like short stories!

Candid and truthful stories about women, young and old, grappling with generational wariness, creative recklessness, and illusive purpose celebrate all that is beautiful, wild and distinctive in contemporary women. All In Together Girls, whose title is inspired by a jump rope rhyme, is a meeting place for girls as surely as the chant would have been on the playground. These stories relate the relentless search for identity, and the late night drive-through culture of bored teens whose "sleepover" alibis have left them with no place else to go. Hallmarked by entrances into, and thought-provoking points of exit from, moments of addiction, betrayal, misjudgement, and first kisses, they are defining portraits of girls and women during the storm and stress of self-discovery.
