I'm not a big fan of short stories collections and this one didn't help improve my feelings. For the first 3 or 4 stories I forgot that it was even supposed to be different characters. Most of the themes carried on from one story to another - traveling in Europe, traveling in Australia, mommy issues, first time out at the bar, etc. A few of the stories did stand out, such as the only one from a girl's perspective and the one on the ferry in Europe. I think if it had been an anthology with different authors it would have been better. Since everything was by the same author the stories all pretty much sounded the same; no one had a unique voice or point of view. If it had been just one novel instead of short stories it would have been better too.
