Meloy's succinct, tight writing really drew me in. I felt wholly absorbed in her stories despite the variety in characters, time, and place. Her writing style is quite different than most, and I like that.
I also felt as though each short story had an ending, which I don't normally get the feeling of when I'm reading other short story collections. It makes for a great read, with lots of complex characters. A good display of the problems of humanness.
