Love & Profanity by Laurie J. Edwards, Nick Healy

3.0

Collections like this are always a mixed bag; some of the stories really connect with you, and others are just "meh". Mostly Miswestern (especially Minnesotan) writers are featured, so there's an awful lot of the "coming of age in a small town" theme -- not that I'm complaining too much, since I can personally connect to those types of stories. Also: 1990s pop culture is prevalent. The last piece, Alison McGhee's "Letter to my 16-Year-Old Self" is my favorite, so at least it ended on a high.
