i think that the struggle with essay collections is that very rarely are they all going to be winners. a lot of them didn't really work for me or didn't seem to have the same depth as others; overall, i was a bit confused by the link to helen gurley brown's book, and i don't think it was a necessary tie-in to make the collection work. i really liked some of the essays though, in particular: apartment by seema reza, once, a white guy by tiana clark, and self-help by morgan parker.
