The youth and inexperience of the writers in this collection is apparent--the stories all shared a similar beat, voice, and style, similar, repititious storylines filled with tortured observations and introspective, brooding personal reflections. The pieces noticeably lacked dialogue and action. I would have liked to see a more diverse group of contributors as well--most of these women call the Bay Area home.
