No One Belongs Here More Than You by Miranda July

nattymcd's review

I've been on a short story kick lately, and I picked this up while on vacation to take a break from some larger works that I'm reading. The bright color on the cover and the intriguing title drew me in, and I ended up finishing it before the vacation was over. I really enjoyed this collection, though even though it's only been two weeks since I read it, nothing really jumps out at me about it. It was just a good read that kept me involved the entire time.

I even may pick it back up sometime in the future--I don't really say that too often about books. My only complaint is that sometimes the voices of the narrators blended together. I didn't feel that there was always a clear voice present in the stories-- much o the time, it could have been the same person telling each story. I would actually give this 3.5 stars, but I enjoyed it so I'm rating higher rather than lower.

These short stories were very oddly written and I couldn’t get into the style. Very obscure, sexual and depressing.

I wish some of the stories were novels instead.
