I don't read a lot of short stories, but these came highly recommended.

Loved this collection. The humour, the variety, the memorable ideas. Going to try and find more of her work to read. The good news is that she has a backlist so I don't have to wait for her next book!

A dense bubble of resentment began to form beneath her breastbone as she stared at the sum: $24,900. This was the approximate amount that she had spent on friends' bridal showers, engagement and bachelorette parties, hotels, plane tickets, dresses, and other wedding- related expenses over the past eight and a half years.....she had been working as a high school French teacher and had earned an average annual salary of thirty-nine thousand dollars.

She was not the only woman in the world with a teenage son. Millions of other women had survived the same affliction. Just barely, she thought bitterly.

In this collection of stories author Christine Sneed presents uncomplicated prose that reads cool and clean in a Carver-esque style while at the same time relaying striking emotional depth. I got sucked into each piece to the point where when a story was over I had to sit back and spend time reflecting on all she had packed into it. This is not a book to zip through. You‘ll want to savor it. Favorites included “The Functionary" shown here.

Tonight's reading on the train ride home. I'm a third of the way through it. I don't always read short stories but Sneed's writing is pretty sharp.

I almost finished this yesterday during the #readathon, but had one story left when I decided to call it a night. Overall I enjoyed this short story collection.
