Book Review of Sixteen : Stories About That Sweet and Bitter Birthday

reviewed on + 21 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 1


A varied collection of short stories that are remarkably different from one another, but mostly well-written and engaging...if you want to re-live teenage angst, uncertainty, waiting, and longing. Perspectives are both male and female, gay and straight. It's more fun than I just made it sound (well, at least from the perspective of a thirty-something). I have been motivated to read some of the other authors' work after reading, which is a fine compliment.
