This is one of those books where at the end of each short story you want to rub your temples, shake your head, and ask the author "What happens next?" Souvenir...and three more not-quite-straightforward tales is the perfect name for this collection. The title story, Souvenir, has the makings for a mystery/suspense film. Little Sister left me with too many questions: Did the sister really exist? Was she an aborted/miscarried child? The shell of Marleen? Chasing Linette was my least favorite of the four short stories, though I don't know why. It actually has a very interesting storyline. Photo Finish was the perfect way to end this collection. It has a haunting, tragic, yet beautiful feel to it.I think this short story collection will appeal to both teens and adults alike.
