I don't usually get into short stories... A lot of the stories were pretty similar in theme/content but Emma Cline's intense writing style kept me interested. "Marion" was my favorite.

I loved The Girls, so I picked this up when normally I might not, as I'm not mad on short stories. The tone was quite similar to that of The Girls, but I just didn't find anything compelling about most of these stories. I know a lot of people didn't enjoy how the stories leave off, and that didn't bother me, but I just didn't feel they blended particularly well. I know other have enjoyed this a lot, but just not for me.
