With the possible exception of the first voice (chapter), I just could not care about these characters. Each voice sounded the same; their issues were supposed to be compelling but little of what they were angst-ing about seemed important. Some nice writing, certainly, but a lot of it is unbelievable and ultimately, it feels a small book. Maybe if it had been sold as a linked collection of stories? I'm not sorry I read the book, but I'm sorry I paid for it.
