A Few of the Girls: Stories by Maeve Binchy

3.0

Published posthumously, this collection suffers a bit in comparison with the author's other stories. Men who cheat on their spouses, women who fall in love with married men, spoiled children of divorce playing the guilt card, parents who can't let go... I think she was trying to keep it real (because Maeve always kept it real, honestly), but so many of these themes all stuck together in one book is just a bit much. As always, the characters mostly feel real and the dialogue is true. It was just kind of depressing.

I did really enjoy Audrey, a charming story told from the POV of a cat. >^..^< I don't think I've ever read anything like this from Maeve.
