In Bulletproof Girl, Quinn Dalton offers eleven raw and witty stories powered by a rich mix of women's voices.
The stakes are high in these diverse narratives. Dinner at Josette's explores the nature of female friendships in the story of a woman whose best friend is in love with a gay man. Midnight Bowling follows seventeen-year-old Tess as she escapes her fanatically religious mother's pipe dreams and her dead father's legacy. In Lennie Remembers the Angels, a woman confronts a long-ago vision as she recovers from a hit-and-run accident. In Graceland, a once supportive businessman's wife turns to murder. And in How to Clean Your Apartment, a jilted lover creates a spring cleaning reference guide as she tries to get over her man.

At times tragic and savagely funny, Bulletproof Girl is a dynamic anthology from a strong new voice in fiction.
