Quick review for a quick, wonderful read. Man, this novella makes me wish I'd been able to see more of Bodee's life and perspective in "Faking Normal", because this was a great, brief view. Courtney C. Stevens makes this narrative pop with tight writing and an intimacy that made the story and intera...

Stevens's "Faking Normal" surprised me in terms of how powerful it turned out to be, especially for the way ...
Me encantó. Total y completamente. He leído muchos libros que tratan de violaciones, y este es el primero que de verdad me toca. El tema es tratado de una manera sutil pero desgarradora.

It has the same feel to it, but it feels a little more recent. I had some theories while I was reading the book about what was ...
3.5 starsI'm always surprised when short stories are capable of growing an authentic and likable character in so few pages. Gerry, the girl Bodee befriends in this novel, is an interesting and sympathetic character, much like Bodee. I was going to give this three stars but the ending chapters packed...
Actual rating: 4.5 starsBreakdown: 4 stars for everything this books is, 0.5 stars because it hits close to something personal.I am in a puddle of mixed emotions. I am confused if Alexi's story ist that gripping, if something personal is stirring into focus, or both. I have some criticisms about thi...
