Review: Insightful, Entertaining Collection of Stories
Rating: 4 out of 5

This is an entertaining collection of stories, some more suspenseful and unexpected than others.One of the standouts for me was 'An Awakening', with a woman contemplating whether she truly cares if her husband lives or dies. The indifference about a relationship that long ago settled into something between comfortable and dull is fascinating commentary on the state of many marriages.Another standout was 'Amy'. This story explores the world of an abused teenage girl, offering a thought-provoking twist on her abuser and savior.Many of these stories will make you stop and think. You might also find yourself looking differently at your neighbors and coworkers, and wondering how well you really know these people.
