A review by caseythecanadianlesbrarian
Out of the Girls' Room and Into the Night by Thisbe Nissen

2.0

I read the first three stories in this collection and none of them grabbed me. It feels like Nissen is trying too hard, especially to be edgy; the stories feel relatively contrived and pretty amateur--like something written by an undergrad studying creative writing. They're not bad, in terms of style or content, but they're not interesting or well-written enough for me to waste my time reading the rest of the collection. Too bad, because I really liked the titles of some of the stories, as well as the title of the book.
