Helpful Score: 2

What an interesting little book I didn't realize it was a book of short stories. If I had known that, I may not have started reading it as I'm too lazy to try to get into a new story every 20-something pages or so, but this book of short stories is quite different. They include Olive Kitteridge and/or the townspeople of Crosby, Maine, where Olive lives, in every story. In that way, it really is a novel, not a book of short stories. You learn about Olive and her life and her quirky ways, her innermost feelings, her anger, her fears, her brutal common sense, and you think hard about life. There were some stories I liked better than others, but all in all, I found myself drawn to this book to read more.
