Girls' Night Out, Boys' Night In by Jessica Adams, Fiona Walker, Chris Manby
1.0
I started with Girl's Night Out -- several short stories in both of the halves of this book...
Red Letter Day by Fiona Walker: This story is so sad. I cried. It ends on a better note, but it is still a very sad tale.
Mother Figure by Sarah Harris: This one was a sad story, but in a different way - a bad, life sucks kind of way. I didn't enjoy this story so much.
No Strings Attached by Alexandra Potter: Cute. A story of fate, and what happens if you allow her to help you.
When the Fat Lady Sings by Colette Caddle: a cute story, not sure of the overall point of it, but I enjoyed reading it.
Art Lover by Chris Manby: my favorite story thus far. The twist has been done before, but it was so well done in this story, I forgive the device.
Home and Dry by Martina Devlin: my least favorite thus far. A story about a scummy user type guy -- didn't like it. ug.
I obviously gave up on reviewing each story, sufficient to say, most of them were UG. In fact, the best story, "Boy's Night In" by Matt Beaumont was the best story, and it was the last one of the second half of the book. Literally the last story I read. The last story I could read. It was funny and just over all a well written story. Now, perhaps being a Yank I missed something in translation (yes ENGLISH is quite different than American), but with 33 stories, the odds that more than one would be something I wanted to say YEAH about seemed high. I was sadly disappointed in this collection.
