A Book a Week – Both Ways is the Way I Want It

Both Ways is the Way I Want It was on my list for this year and I decided this was a good time to pick it up.

I was so wrong.

This short story collection is full of terribly sad stories. I don’t usually read short story collections cause I don’t like them. They are too short and don’t give me enough time/space to get to know the characters or get into the story enough. And this was no exception. I wanted more for each story. Maybe that’s cause they were all so sad and I kept hoping for something happier, I don’t know.

She’s a great writer. I loved her writing. I just wasn’t in the best place to read these sad, sad stories right now.
