Of course, almost in all short story collections, it's a hit or miss. Some of them hit, some of them miss... for me this is a mixed bunch.

The stories that I liked: The Summer People, Secret Identity, The New Boyfriend. I'm writing this review about a month after I started reading the first story and these are the only ones which stuck to me. 

I've put the book on hold because I couldn't quite grasp the concept of the last story and had to pause. Then I decided that I didn't want to finish it any longer.

Still, I loved the writing. Sometimes it's very vague and you have to fill in the gaps which I like. Will definitely try more of this author's work to see if I truly like her writing.
