I enjoyed reading this book because it has six other short stories in the book. I choose this story to write about because I like how the author makes the ending so romantic and cute. If you’re the type of reader who loves reading mini romantic and comedic stories, than you should check this book out. NOW!!! JX (5-3-10)

(located @ SC N in the East Library Story Collection) //**No Such Thing as the Real World: Stories about Growing Up and Getting a Life**// is a compilation of short stories about passing the line from childhood to becoming an adult. Situations range from the suicide of a best friend to an unwed mother providing for her baby son. In all the stories, the underlying theme remains that becoming an adult is neither predictable nor easy.

While some stories in the compilation are well done, most are hard to connect with. The content is fairly heavy and at times, confusing. Others are illogical and lacking in a sense of realism. JW (10-14-09)
