Loved it! Perfect, precise character descriptions and word choice. I didn't expect the connected stories to eventually tumble out into a larger plot, but I thought it was well done. I highly recommend this book to lovers of weird short stories, one of my favorite genres.

An apartment building in Manhattan linked the characters of the various stories of this book. The characters and plot were not quite believable and much of the sex too violent for my taste.

Loved it. It's very different- comprised of a collection of short stories that all overlap each other.

I'd previously read "Kissing in Manhattan" and got this book based on that. "Sweet and Vicious" is incredibly engaging. I could hardly put it down. I loved the way that the narratives were all interwoven and how the point of view kept changing. Most of the time, that would be distracting, but it worked well here. Deeply satisfying and highly reccommended.
