I admire the heck out of Sturgeon, but I gotta say, I don't always love his stories. However, I do appreciate that his women are competent and interesting.

In this collection, I appreciate the notes prefacing each story. My favorite story is probably the title one, which reminded me of nothing so much as sort of rom-com with a certain kinship to A Midsummer's Night Dream.
