Sixteen: Stories About That Sweet and Bitter Birthday ReviewShort stories are short. Collections of stories are by different authors, who have different styles. To criticize a short story collection because the stories aren't long enough or because all the authors aren't your bag is just plain silly. This isn't a novel like Sloppy Firsts or Second Helpings, so it shouldn't be compared to them! With that having been said, I thought this collection was better than most. I had never heard of most of the authors (I only knew Megan McCafferty and Sarah Dessen) and I liked the stories by the authors who don't usually write YA: Emma Forrest, Joe Weisberg and Julianna Baggott. I think this collection is worth it for those who are looking to discover new writers.Sixteen: Stories About That Sweet and Bitter Birthday OverviewDating! Drama! Driving!Remember what it was like to be sixteen? Whether it was the year your teeth were finally free of braces or the year you were discovered by the opposite sex, that magical, mystical age is something you will never forget. Edited by Megan McCafferty, author of the runaway hit novels Sloppy Firsts and Second Helpings, Sixteen: Stories About That Sweet and Bitter Birthday is a compilation of short stories inspired by all the angst, melodrama, and wonderment of being sixteen.Sarah Dessen's "Infinity" is about a girl confronting two major milestones: getting her driver's license and losing her virginity. The Dead Girls in Jacqueline Woodson's "Nebraska 99" have already decided to "do it" and must now cope with being teenage mothers. And Carolyn Mackler's "Mona Lisa, Jesus, Chad, and Me" explores whether friendship can survive when partying and prayer clash. Also included is a new Jessica Darling story by Megan McCafferty about the last fifteen minutes Jessica spends—or rather, doesn't spend—with her best friend, Hope, who is leaving Pineville.Featuring stories by Steve Almond, M. T. Anderson, Julianna Baggott, Cat Bauer, Emma Forrest, Tanuja Desai Hidier, David Levithan, Sarah Mlynowski, Sonya Sones, Zoe Trope, Ned Vizzini, and Joseph Weisberg, these hilarious, poignant, and touching tales are perfect for both those who have yet to reach that milestone and those who want to reminisce about their "sweetest" year.
