“An attention-worthy collection of contemporary women’s fiction. To be read not only for its insights, but also for the edgy, dramatic undertones. Very enjoyable.” –Penn Book Review
“…after reading them you’ll think more than once while making serious decisions. Not all people have a second chance.” –Portland Review of Books
