Title: Can't finish the book
Product review: Let me say right off that the first story, "Pilgrims," is terrific. I flipped through the first few pages and decided to buy the book based on how good they were. Unfortunately, nothing else in the book matches its level of writing. The other stories are skillful but safe, repetitive, always told from the point of view of a privileged young woman, and bourgeois in a way that doesn't question its bourgeois status. I can't finish the book. And "Notes to Sixth Grade Self" is [bad]. ... But despite all this, she has talent and hopefully her next book will be as good as that first story.
