    I will read this book again and recommend it to others
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2016*

Monica Drake is a writer of such imagination, humor and meticulous craft that I eagerly ordered this collection, and she lives up to and exceeds my every expectation. Her young female protagonist, growing up on "land" within earshot of a drive through and visual range of a car dealership steps from Drake's pages set in Portland, Oregon, and fuses with my own images of our city and of youth. I will read this book again and recommend it to others.

    Best book I've read in YEARS!
  

*by C***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2017*

Honestly? I don't know how she does it. These stories just slayed me...in a good way. Each one links in with the rest. Dealing with themes such as the pressures of motherhood, sprawl, class divisions, mental illness, bonding, and growing up in this weird wonderful world. It's fantastic, reading it will make you tough whilenin makes you laugh and cry. Just buy it and see.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Another delight from Monica Drake
  

*by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2017*

Another delight from Monica Drake. I just love her voice -- full of dry humor and poignancy, and so specifically of her time and place. She really makes these women and their settings come alive. Somewhere in between a traditional narrative and a collection of short stories, this book was a thoroughly enjoyable read.
