I'm usually not a big fan of short stories, as I tend to require a lot of character development; however, somehow she manages to cram a lot of character into each story. I was really drawn to the characters and felt their pain, despite not having a common background or even a background somewhat similar. What was really interesting was how each story ended with a bit of a cliff-hanger...left the reader craving a real ending not just a momentarily stopping point that hinted at a next chapter. The endings really reminded me of each episode of LOST. *ducks from literature majors everywhere throwing books at me* Each story had me rather sappy and a little teary at the end. I highly recommend this one.   hide
