A review by cstefko
Half in Love by Maile Meloy
4.0
There were a few underwhelming stories, but overall I really enjoyed this collection. Meloy has a great range; not only does she write men and women equally well, she also does well with a variety of ages in her characters.
Standout stories, for me:
Four Lean Hounds, ca. 1976
Garrison Junction
Aqua Boulevard
Last of the White Slaves
She's just one of those authors whose writing leaves a lump in your throat.
I think I like her more recent collection, *Both Ways is the Only Way I Want It," better, but I definitely recommend this one too.
I wish you could do half stars for ratings on here, because I'd really give this 4.5. Alas.
