Twin Study by Stacey Richter
4.0
The range of stories both in content and tone is admirable. They are mostly in first person but each one has a unique voice. Definitely a writer to watch and this first collection is worth a second read.
On the second reading, the author's desire to be funny, to please, to impress came through. And she achieves her goal. The writing was funny and impressive. However, in the last story "Duet" she lets go of some of the pyrotechnics and reaches a poignancy that I missed in some of the other stories.
I definitely look forward to more from this writer. She is talented and this collection should have received more recognition than it did.
