I also thought the story lines unpacking Jane and Fiona's relationships with their parents were really strong. Fiona as her mother's "own heart, walking outside her body" and Jane trying to save Julian in an attempt to save her father - the complexity and messiness were translated beautifully.
My favorite stories in the collection were: Cold Turkey, Clairvoyance, and the title story Fiona and Jane.
