From Library Journal:
Thurm is a competent enough reporter, but this collection of ten stories is ephemeral magazine fiction, easily read and forgotten. The same characters and infidelities reappear under different guises. New Yorker Charles finds breaking off an eight-year relationship more painful than he had imagined, while New Yorker Russ finds the relationship he imagines impossible because twice-divorced Tammy is inseparable from her mama. At a bar mitzvah, Andrew's ex-wife and his homosexual lover discover their competition is not over. In the best of the lot, a woman visits her aged father, his much younger wife, and the new baby anyone can see is not his. Thurm authored Floating ( LJ 2/1/84) and Walking Distance ( LJ 4/1/87). Maurice Taylor, Brunswick Cty. Lib., Southport,

Unpredictability and the strangeness of ordinary people are the constant themes in this second collection of Thurm's short narratives. PW complimented these 10 stories for "the liquid clarity" of their prose.
