A review by laurynreads
The O. Henry Prize Stories 2019 by Laura Furman

3.0

My plan was to finish this before 2019 ended but it took me f o r e v e r to get through Flowers for America and then the last few stories because I just didn't care anymore. For me, all of the powerful and poignant stories lived in the first half of the book. What resonates with me? Women, teen girls, young girls, relationships between women, sex and sexuality. The stories I bookmarked: Funny Little Snake, Julia and Sunny, Unstuck, Bad Girl, Omakase, Prime (maybe my fave?), and The Shrew Tree.
