[Gail Kennon · Rating 4 out of 5]

each story a small gem of wit and gentle exploration of human foibles..left me laughing out loud and so sorry to have no other fiction to read by this too short-lived author.

Delightfully queer with a dry, witty sense of humor -- perfect for what I was looking for. My favorites in this short story collection were an absolute delight, and the ones I didn't like so much were few and far in between.
