This is an excellent manual on writing, but also a super fun read! I loved Maggie's story, and she had excellent advice. She is one of my favorite authors, and reading about her thought process for coming up with her stories was amazing. I was so in awe of how she put all of her ideas together. I really liked Brenna's story even though it wasn't entirely conventional. The section called The Drowning Place, which I think was the main story, was really short, but somehow effective enough that I cared about it. Tessa's really surprised me. It originally bored me because I felt like it was pretty usual, but once I reached a certain point, you probably know what I'm talking about if you've read it, I was fascinated. The story caught me completely off guard, but looking back it seemed obvious, which makes me more impressed by the writing.
