Great book! Got it as a Christmas present and loved it. Such a variety of stories...I liked the little map that was in the beginning of the book. |

I also read it during the holidays. One story, "Our Eyes Couldn't Stop Opening" by Megan Abbott, is about Grosse Pointe teenagers who venture into the bad old eastside of Detroit in the 80's looking for thrills. I grew up in that area and it brought back a lot of memories. I also liked "The Coffee Break" by Melissa Preddy. The heroine is a waitress who works behind the lunch counter at a Cunningham Drugs in the 60's. I sent a copy to a friend who grew up in my neighborhood and hasn't been back in 30 years. |
