A review by bowierowie
Refund by Karen E. Bender

5.0

I love this collection so much. So many of the stories are at once funny, tender, and incisive. One of my favorite things about these stories is that they're all deeply rooted in reality, but there is a fantastic element to some of them that Bender pulls off so well and that I find completely delightful and moving. I'm really looking forward to rereading many of these, particularly "Reunion," "Anything for Money," and "A Chick from My Dream Life."
