The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing

Author: Melissa Bank

Really enjoyed the episodic feel - like short stories about the same person all linked up and adding up to a life. Loved the cheerleader and office assistant section, where Janie plays by 'the rules'. Good use of fantasy that. Also, really loved the fact that the woman's job and family were integral parts of the story, nothing glossed over or ignored.

The teenage voice in the first section really had my hopes up for a YA novel. Brilliant.

Look forward to her next book.
