How to Breathe Underwater
by Julie Orringer
I loved all these stories. Orringer cuts open the ugly things about life that we discover during adolescence, but then describes the ugliness in pretty prose. Many of the characters are young Jewish women. I really enjoyed the different ways their faith shaped their lives - sometimes dictating every move they make, and sometimes just affecting the boys they make out with at youth group meetings. "Care" is a really excellent depiction of addiction and guilt. "Pilgrims" sort of ruined treehouses for me.
