challenging reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated

a really good collection of stories!! after reading the forward to this book, i realize that women are anthologized WAY less than men. WAY less. and this anthology is great, some excellent stories--and all of them are different.

my friend (who loves chick lit) and i had our first "tag-read" with this one, and it worked out great. i liked more stories than she did, but we both agree it is a good read.

It wasn't.

High Point: a really great story that takes place at the Calgary stampede.

Interesting, but to be honest, I didn't finish all the stories. But since they're a series of short stories, that's probably okay.

A variety of interesting stories by a various writers. There was a lot of variety in quality and enjoyment for me, but by the end some of the theme just started to bore me and feel very repetitive.
