The point of view from both authors tells you how life can take a turn for better or worsequite unexpectedly. The friend or lover you thought would be there for you can suddenlyturn on you; the quiet boy you were somewhat enamored with in high school does notturn out to be who you thought he was. In this myriad of short stories, it is a balancedmix of expectations, and love does not fulfi ll your expectations either. Then, there is theWarrior who turns the tables, a complete 360, and we fi nd out who that person really isin the end. The stories are wrapped in their own emotional gauze where we begin to seethrough them but are surprised at how they unravel. Take the rising rock star for whom lifehas already become mundane as we watch him drown his boredom in drugs and alcohol.We feel optimistically enamored by what we deem a success story. We get to look deeperinto the nitty gritty life of how fame and almost fortune has become engrained in the dailyroutine. The rise and fall of emotions are captivating as you turn each page.
