How to Breathe Underwater by Julie Orringer
4.0

Orrigner has to be one of my favorite short story writers. Every piece in this collection is written from the point of view of a young narrator, and every voice is intimidatingly unique. Some of Orringer's endings can be a bit ambiguous and frustrating, but overall, I highly recommend reading her stories.
