Yes Yes More More by Anna Wood

miaheartsbooks's review

4.0

I really enjoyed Anna Wood's luminous short story collection Yes Yes More More. It's joyous, wistful and nostalgic, weaving stories about the wild nights of youth and the disappointments of age, returning us to several central women characters as they navigate sex, friendships, relationships, and their place in the world.

A few things link the stories in this collection – reappearing characters, music, friendship, humour, joy and sadness. The stories are of lifes many moments that collectively add up to the whole. I wish I could remember how I knew to seek out this collection. I love the way Wood handles time in this collection.

Unhinged women, but make it short stories.

Some better than others as is the way with short story collections but definitely more hits than misses. 

Good stuff.

A quick afternoon read, there were some stories that I liked more than others (which you do), some really solid moments of writing here.
