As with a lot of books about women written by white cis women, this book is a little gender essentialist and doesn’t think about intersectionality. It’s good if a little basic. The titular story was a favorite.

 - If you're into the recent wave of books filled with feminine rage, add SHIT CASSANDRA SAW to your list.
- The stories in this book range across a variety of topics, styles, and genres, but all are funny, dark, and a bit surreal.
