She Was Like That: New and Selected Stories by Kate Walbert

3.0

This collection of short stories, while not bad, was just not for me. The writing felt disjointed and jumpy, which is not quite my style. The biggest hurdle for me with this book was that I had a difficult time relating to any of the characters. They were mostly city-dwelling mothers and I'm a childless twenty-something who really wished she could afford to live on 20 acres of forested hills, well away from the hustle and bustle of any major city. I couldn't relate to their motives or their experiences.
