Blueprints for Building Better Girls: Fiction di Elissa Schappell
This got a lot of great reviews and I enjoy short stories from time to time. These were insightful and painful and had a lot of sadness in them all. I'm not sure how to build a better girl, I just hope she has a better life than all of these characters. Maybe it is sad because they sound so utterly true and possible. I'm glad I read it all but am equally glad that I am now done with it.
Honestly, I was so sick of reading this book I skipped the last story. I did enjoy a couple of the stories, "Aren't You Dead Yet", "A Dog Story" and "The Joy of Cooking" but the other stories just didn't hit it for me. I might revisit those particular stories at some point, but I don't see myself revisiting this collection.
Maybe I just need to read more short stories.

4.5 stars
This is a collection of connected short stories. The writing was honest and insightful. This is a super fast, engaging read and a nice palate cleanser after some of the darker things I have read recently. Definitely recommend.
