I love a good short story collection that I can really sink my teeth into. Hempel is such a master of the game (don't sleep on "Reasons to Live"!). Her stories are so honest and raw and have such an amazing flow to them. This collection is interesting - there are a bunch of super short stories and then one story at the end that's pretty long. I actually loved this format and enjoyed the long story just as much as I did the short ones. The topics range from a volunteer at an animal shelter to a woman still affected by the daughter she gave up for adoption decades before. Hempel doesn't put out new work very often, but when she does, I'll snap it up!
