Review by: Saraswati
"25 stories from the hottest female writers on the scene." This is the
quote on the back cover of the book. The stories made me feel that the
art of short story writing is being lost to TV timing. Many of these
stories had a long build up (2 pages) and a BOOM ending (1 page max). Many of these stories felt
like sample tastes to see if you want to go out get the whole dish later.
The majority of stories focused on the trials and tribulations of
30ish, single women trying to find true love or at least nurse
themselves through a breakup. Two stories were cute. Reunion by Meg
Cabot is written in email format about friends going to their 10 year high school
reunion. Wishing Carefully by Marian Keyes is about wishing for a fairy tale romance and getting it, with a twist. Very easy summer
reads.
