Blueprints for Building Better Girls: Fiction by Elissa Schappell

3.0

Very readable interconnected stories - I moved through them quickly - but I didn't quite connect with them myself. Not that I necessarily mind whether I 'connect' with what I'm reading, but in this case I sensed I was supposed to read the stories with cries of recognition about the female experience (which apparently involves lots of disappointment and bitter lessons). Some very good parts indeed, but it didn't make as effective a whole as I had hoped.
