The collection of stories is pretty diverse. The stories range from a woman getting picked up by a guy on the street, to a couple of kids sneaking out their dads car, to a story of an aging rock star.

The thing I like about this book is none of the stories were over the top. The best part of reading stories is picturing yourself in the story, at least for me. With most of these stories that wasn’t hard because each one was about regular everyday people, going through their day. No white knights riding up on white horses. No, just an unshaven guy sees a woman walking down the street and asks her out. That I appreciated. I’m a realist.

Her style is definately different. I’ve never heard a woman swear so much. My only other complaint is that the dialogue can be hard to follow at times. The conversation run on for awhile with no tags. After a bit, I’d lose track of whose talking. I’ll give this book three stars because I don’t think it’s for everyone, with the language and other content.

I’ve read the first story and loved it. Thanks for the suggestion Alyzabeth.

This is a great collection of short stories, which have been translated from French. The translator has done a great job. I usually don’t find myself really enjoying short stories, but this is different. Highly recommended, and the perfect size to carry in your bag.
