v_iaggio 's review for:

Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout
3.0

I am not a huge fan of short stories, but the setting and premise of this book appealed to me. Almost all of these stories are rather dark, with moments of self-understanding giving way quickly to more base human impulses, emotions, and fears. There were a few gems in here though, and the writing style was strong if a bit overworked at times.
