One Nightstand

Both Ways is the Only Way I Want It by Maile Meloy

May 16, 2013

Both Ways is the Only Way I Want ItThis is one of my favorite short-story collections—actually, one of my favorite books—in a long time. Each story is its own little world, with a unique narrator and point of view. I'm amazed at Meloy's ability to write such diverse stories with humor, heart, and insight.

It was so good I read it twice!
