Both Ways is the Only Way I Want It by Maile Meloy

medium-paced

4.5

i really adored this collection. meloy has a masterful grasp on pacing and tension, all delivered through a more straightforward prose that befits the american settings. after a while of reading multiple stories, the climax and dissipation of tension can feel formulaic, but they always end perfectly -- unexpected and at times abrupt, but perfect.
