So We Can Glow: Stories by Leesa Cross-Smith

4.75

Every single one of these stories is as tangible and delightful as a piece of hard candy. This collections takes you through dusty diners and dim pool halls, suburban basements and kitchens, teenage girls’ bedrooms, and a fancy apartment building elevator. And each has an enchanting heroine. Sometimes she’s a mother, others a young girl, but always she’s richly rounded with passion, desire, and need. These are complex, nuanced, extraordinarily well-written stories of love and loss and all that comes between, painted with sticky lipgloss.
