Why They Run the Way They Do by Susan Perabo

5.0

Wow! This book of short stories is fantastic. The thing about short stories is that each word, each sentence, each phrase must exactly picked and placed precisely or it simply doesn't work. Perabo does that in spades. Every story grips you from the first sentence; one ends with a twist, another the way you thought it would. Each one perfectly. She wrote in the acknowledgments that it took 15 years to write this book; gads, I hope it's not that long for the next one.
