No One Belongs Here More Than You: Stories

by Miranda July

I have a total girl-crush on Miranda July (which means that I want to be her, mostly). This book was sold in two colors: yellow and pink. I'm glad I got the yellow one. July constructs some really interesting characters in really interesting situations, many of them totally unbelievable in their awkwardness... But then something makes us see that we're like them. For some reason this bit is my favorite: "That is my problem with life, I rush through it, like I'm being chased. Even...

Oh this was so tragically awful. Poorly written, crude, unimaginative. Ugh, Miranda July. Sometimes she's cute and witty but other times I just plain dislike her. This entire book was one of those times. Furthermore, it doesn't take any more introspect than being a twelve year old girl to write something like this. This book sucks. Ughhhh. Adding awkward sexual fantasied does not make something good, or meaningful. This is one of those times I'm just MAD that some people get published.

    I loved it. Miranda July's style is so sweet/deep on paper as it is on film.

    I agree with johnson, below. I started this with the highest hopes, having just seen---and absolutely adored---the movie Me, You, and Everyone We Know, but although the stories are quirky, I'm just not loving them. I don't feel like I especially want to get to know these characters. I hope I haven't given up on the collection, but I don't find myself wanting to pick the book up again.
