Boys and Girls Like You and Me - Kepler's Staff Review

This is a collection both sardonic and feeble, yet humorous and always honest. Aryn Kyle has written stories that address the heart, our idiosyncrasies, human nature, and everything we call an “ordinary” life. Her characters are girls and boys on the verge in every sense and in every light. She tells it bitterly, but always with truth. I gave myself a little time in between each story to collect my thoughts and laugh at my own ugly and beautiful. Oh, what complex creatures we are. Some notable stories include: "Company of Strangers,” “Captain's Club,” and the title story, "Boys and Girls Like You and Me." 

Ms. Kyle is not to be missed, especially if you are as new to short stories as I am. This is a wonderful introduction to the genre, as is Miranda July's No One Belongs Here More Than You.
