Eliza please return my many calls the children are asking where you are, please baby just go for the science fiction novel for your next one. You got this one in the bag in such a serious way I know contemporary fiction is the name of the game but the name of the game can change. I think this is a very cohesive collection as far as theme goes and her writing style is very undeniable, w a very few "misses" here and there - mostly the ones that you could tell were written before boy parts and penance, having read her other work and having watched her style evolve they become hard to ignore but definitely still enjoyable. Genre writing is dead, long live the genre? Actually quite insane thematically, Hollow Bones and Extinction Event were a delightful departure from not just her genre of choice but also writing style in a very satisfying way.
