"Exciting fans of such writers as Kelly Link, Karen Russell, and Carmen Maria Machado with prose that shimmers and stings, Amber Sparks holds a singular role in the canon of the weird. Now, she reaches new, uncanny heights with And I Do Not Forgive You. In "Mildly Happy, With Moments of Joy," a friend is ghosted by a simple text message; in "Everyone's a Winner at Meadow Park," a teen precariously coming of age in a trailer park befriends an actual ghost. At once humorous and unapologetically fierce, these stories shine an interrogating light on the adage that "history likes to lie about women"- as the subjects of "A Short and Speculative History of Lavoisier's Wife" and "You Won't Believe What Really Happened to the Sabine Women" (it's true, you won't) will attest. Blending fairy tales and myths with apocalyptic technologies, all tethered intricately by shades of rage, And I Do Not Forgive You offers a mosaic of an all- too- real world that fails to listen to its silenced goddesses"--… (meer)

I Meant It Once door Kate Doyle (DarthFisticuffs)
DarthFisticuffs: The stories are similar in theme and especially in tone, dealing with interpersonal emotional issues and feelings of coming into one's own.

...hope is the thing with feathers, and I have always been allergic to down.

This is a wonderful collection of short stories, each one different from the other. From clever stories like In Which Athena Designs a Video Game with the Express Purpose of Trolling her father to the poignant Mildly Unhappy, with Moments of Joy, where a woman loses her best friend and doesn't understand why, Sparks uses fairy tales, references to mythology or supernatural elements in her writing. I really liked her writing style and how well Sparks manages to combine an offbeat sense of humor with moments of genuine heart. (

I don't really like short stories, but I knew that going in so I'm not going to mess up the rating for others. I would rate it 2 stars, some of the stories were really great, most were a miss for me.

This book is excellently constructed and while the stories aren't "linked" they feel part of a larger whole. Some stand out as brilliant, like the opener, and sting long after the book is closed. (
