I was all set to give this story four stars, but I found myself thinking about the narrator while I was making dinner.  My pondering a character after reading a story is my five star criteria.  The narrator is a young Asian woman living in Toronto.  Love sandwiches are plain Wonder bread and bologna, "they tasted like someone's childhood."  She has some very honest reactions to the evening.  I enjoyed the fact that she didn't like the experience, that she approached the wrong people, and that she recognized herself in their gazes.  I also enjoyed the friend from school she encounters who had transformed from a mousy girl to a sexy dancer.This appears to be an early effort for this author, and she gifted me the book in exchange for an honest review.  I rarely accept these offers but liked the premise she sent to me.  I can see the unfinished state of some of her writing, but I really like to be challenged in my reading.  So I would recommend this story to you.  I will purchase and read her next effort.
