kathrynth's review
4.0
Some of these stories really worked for me, while others didn't quite so much. My favorites were Twin Study, Young People Today, Christ, Their Lord, and My Mother the Rock Star.
donfoolery's review against another edition
5.0
I picked up this collection after reading Richter's story in [book:Tin House: Fantastic Women]. Not every story here was "genre-bending," but that didn't matter. I loved the writing all the same, particularly the diaglogue. I read it, cover to cover, in a week--which is lightspeed for me (when I'm not reading flash fiction). This collection gets a five, though, because the connecting thread between the stories was so clear: Women on the cusp of transition, some opting to change direction while others don't; where either choice makes some happy, and others not so much.
