mattie 's review for:
How to Breathe Underwater
by Julie Orringer
[2006 review.] I put this on my to-read list after reading excellent reviews of it and I wasn't disappointed. I'm not a big fan of the short story genre -- I'd rather get fully immersed in a novel -- but all of these stories are wonderful. The main characters are really believable girls or women, and while there are definite recurring themes, the stories vary enough to stay interesting. Also triple bonus points for a story written in the second person ("Note to Sixth-Grade Self").
