I really liked these stories a lot. They touched on the beauty and the ugliness of life in a very real way, without being too sunny or too dark. It was a nice balance. I could relate to many of the stories as I "came of age" in the 80's and 90's myself, like many of the characters here. Roughly a third of these stories involved lesbian relationships, which was completely fine by me but may be of note to some prospective readers. Thisbe Nissen is a writer I will follow after enjoying these stories!
