Everyone Remain Calm: Stories

I recently read this author's essay collection, and in a sense I felt like I was re-reading it when I was reading these stories. The protagonists here–young women who drink a lot and go to loud concerts and bars and have tragic breakups–seem a lot like the impression I have of the author from the essays. Which is not a flaw, exactly, just not very interesting TO ME. I can imagine a demographic who could really relate. So: good, just not my thing.
