A review by erintowner
Fortune Smiles by Adam Johnson

5.0

Oh boy, what to say about this one. I rarely love short story collections but this one made me think. Off-kilter settings/scenarios, flawed protagonists...and then human moments that had me empathizing with people I certainly did not want to be empathizing with. Adam Johnson has a unique writing style that I really enjoy. For me, Nirvana and Interesting Facts were the weakest stories in the collection because I'm burned out on neurotic female characters.
