Sixteen: Stories about That Sweet and Bitter Birthday by
3.0
The tricky thing about reading a book of short stories by different authors is that it's hard to give a rating to; I loved a few, liked some, didn't like others at all. The good thing is that I discovered some new authors I want to read more of.
I think my favorite was "Cowgirls and Indie Boys" by Tanuja Desai Hidier because it was surprising, yet also summed up so well what it feels like to be in high school. My other favorites were "Rutford becomes a man" by Ned Vizzini because it was bizarre and hilarious, and "The Perfect Kiss" by Sarah Mlynowski, because I have had mono, and also because it was hilarious.
Next time around I will probably skip the Sonya Sones, but I've never been a huge fan.
