Honestly, this book for me has been quite the slog and I think its because I just don't much care for short stories. That and that about half of the stories I managed to slog myself through really weren't worth the good ones that I had enjoyed. I got about halfway through the book in total. Of course, I don't think that the book is bad, far from it. I think its valuable that the collection of lesbian short stories exists. However, I simply cannot get into it, and I think most of the stories are in a collection for a reason in being extremely boring to get through. After two months of barely getting through half of the book I think I just need to let it hang on my shelf and maybe some other time I will pick it up again.

‘Where are you, Troy? Your touch works on me like a respirator... or the sun without boredom or one final glass of beer. Speaking love the same way to the same girl night after day.’

Great overall. So many different voices and ideas. Every story was so vivid and real. Some of the most notable stories in this book are: Salisbury Joe, Why I'm here, What We Do In Bed and my favorite, Home. A line from Home: "But I wonder how someone can know me if they can't know my family, if there's no current information to tell. Never to say to a friend, a lover, "I talked to my mother yesterday and she said..." Nothing to tell. Just a blank where all that is supposed to be." The stories range from heartbreak, happiness, longing, love and death. I will be seeking out volumes one and two. A must read that belongs in everyone's collection.
