34. Before You Suffocate Your Own Fool Self by Danielle Evans

 

Danielle Evans stories focus on young women and men trying to make their way in the world.  With Virgins she shows young women dealing with the sexuality and friendship.  It was good the end goes in all kind of directions though.  Snakes is about the things we do to get what we want.  I like how she presented the story made the protagonist seem untrustworthy.  Harvest is about being a mother and the different things we do to confront that responsibility.  Someone Ought to Tell Her There's Nowhere to Go is a sad story about the affects of war and wanting a family.  The King of a Vast Empire is a story about how families deal with the pain of the past.  Jellyfish is a touching story told for the viewpoint of a daughter and father.  Where You Go, There You Are is about love and being needed.  Robert E. Lee is Dead is a touching story about friendship and the distances created between friends going in different directions.  Overall very candid and touching stories.
