Review: Girl Meets Boy: Because There Are Two Sides to Every Story
Girl Meets Boy: Because There Are Two Sides to Every Story by Kelly Milner Halls
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
This look really good, but I was left disappointed. I normally like short story collections, even though sometimes they are hit or miss, this one mostly missed. For one, just because it is short doesn't make it a short story. Most of these were story fragments, no start or no end or both. a short story should be more than just a chunk out of the middle of a story. Also, for stories that were supposed to be the same from two points of view, sometimes they didn't resemble each other at all.
All in all pretty much a miss, but there were a couple of decent ideas in them.
