Use Me: Fiction by Elissa Schappell

5.0

Here's what's up: it actually kind of hurts to mark this book as "finished"! That's how much I loved it. Her characters don't suffer from contrived neuroses (I'm looking at you, Best New American Voices!), but they don't lie flat on the page either. Schappell writes deliciously intimate and truly inspiring, organic, non-gimmicky, non-cliche stories about cool, fun, complex women, and I adore her for this. Like with her other book, Blueprints for Building Better Girls, I'm left like a little kid wishing she would tell me just one more story before she goes... *sigh* I'll definitely be reading this one again and following this author for a long time.
