Sour Heart by Jenny Zhang

3.0

Super torn between 3 and 4 stars, may come back and change it later! This was great for book club discussion. The complex depictions of family dynamics from the perspective of elementary/middle school-aged girls were the best part. I've never read short stories that sort of blend in to each other this way before, it made for an interesting experience. Her skill as a poet definitely comes through in her writing and the times she chooses to have page long run on sentences with no periods actually felt powerful and intentional, not gimmicky.
