I had to read "Nancy Culpepper" and "Lying Doggo" for a class. I liked both of them so much that I decided to buy the entire collection of short stories and read them for fun. Mason did not disappoint. I love her characters!

3.0
The book is separated into 5 parts by years: 1980, 1985, 1994, 2002, and 2005. (The book was written in 2006). It’s really disjointed and you never get complete closure or explanation in any given section. The longest one deals with Nancy’s parents and her mom’s breast cancer scare. I expected to get more about her childhood and relationship with her siblings from this 110 page section, but no such luck.
