This is a fun collection of short stories focused primarily on what it is to be a woman, from a variety of points of view. It flows well, but I did not find I was truly gripped by a majority of the content.

Book of short stories I got as a blind date book. Some very funny but profound stories. A couple of the sections were very powerful and one made me cry on an airplane

 - 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.
