Picked this based on the title, not clear what the theme is. Most were awkward and painful to read. 
Fav - the one where the young boy has college boys watch him for a summer
Hated - the 14-yr old babysitter getting assaulted, the gay man meeting up with his old roommate, single moms on vacation with their daughters, the entire story The Man At the Door.

"Women are at their best when they write about men." I thought it was strange how many stories only had men in it.
