Local Girls by Alice Hoffman

I must say one thing I love about this book is how beatuifully its written. The story it's self is told through a collection of stories which is a little different for me. One story might be told from Gretel with the next being narrated by Hoffman. It's not as confusing as I may be making it sound its just different. I felt that the book was lacking a little something but I'm not sure what, possibly more details. The book felt too short and I'm not excatly sure how to rate it. I have heard so many good things about the books written by Alice Hoffman and with this being my first book I sort of feel out of the loop, like I may have missed something. I won't say I'm giving up on Hoffman yet but I will do some research on the next one I pick out instead of grabbing whatever is checked in at the library. Goodreads (additional reviews)
