4.0

A series of really compelling, if often violent and disturbing, short stories. The writing is acerbic and biting, but still conveys a deep sense of character and empathy, even with characters acting in anger or fear.

4.5

Dark short stories focused on women/girls and the trials and tribulations of being a woman/girl all set in Florida. The best word to describe the writing is sultry, both in its positive connotations and negate connotations.
