This is a collection of 14 short stories culled from college writing workshops around the US. They vary extensively in theme, storyline, and tone. Most of the authors are working on short stories or novels, so it's a great way to be introduced to new names, which is essentially why I picked it up. My favorite story is "Wintering" by Anastasia Kolendo. The others struck me as sad to downright depressing in tone, so I didn't like them as much. I know that won't bother every reader, but I personally like a story to be hopeful or happy in the end and feel like it's resolved.

It's extremely hard to rate a collection like this, since there's a wide variety of stories included, and while I sometimes dislike the way a story goes I enjoy the artistry of it. So while I'm leaving it unrated it was, overall, a good reading experience.
