A review by whitneyborup
Honeydew by Edith Pearlman

3.0

I loved a few of these stories. Especially "Wait and See" about a boy who is pentachromatic and "Hat Trick" about four girls who choose their future husbands' names out of a hat. But I have a hard time with short story collections in general. Maybe it's just me, but even by the end of the book I've almost completely forgotten a few of the stories, and in a year I probably won't even remember my favorites. If I read short stories one at a time, switching between authors and styles, I have a much easier time remembering. Not this collection's fault, but also this one was a little boring for me. I know that's not a very sophisticated review...
