I am afraid I was not able to finish this book and my review would not be positive so I am happy to keep it private and not share on my website.

There was much to enjoy here, but I found I couldn't connect with it. I'd read more from this author in the future though.

This is a beautiful collection of short fiction. It feels like Maine, reads like Maine. Sometimes you read a book and wish you'd written it. This is one of those times. It is deep, insightful and powerful.

As a self-proclaimed short story aficionado, this collection - Goodnight, Beautiful Women - immediately piqued my interest. I love a good book set in Maine, and this interconnected set of short stories is a solid edition to that category.  This is a dark, uncomfortable set of stories that examines the choices women have made, and their consequences.

Unfortunately I was unable to read this book before my copy expired, Since I can't review it I will give it an average of 3 stars so as not to affect its rating. I'm very sorry about this and thanks for the opportunity to read the novel!
