Great concept; executed well. Loved how inventive Rogers was with different styles for each story (epistolary, 1st, 3rd and even 2nd POV or multiple 1st POV in the same story). She is a strong writer and each story flows well together. I didn't realize until the authors' note that she had written some of them separately over the course of years because the connections in themes and some overlapping characters makes the anthology read almost like one story despite the style differences. I can't even pick a favorite. This had me reading like I was back in school, going back over certain parts to try to analyze them, which I almost never do anymore. I always try to read a library copy before judging if a book is worth buying, if I'll be likely to reread or want to lend to friends, and this one will be on my list.
