Review love!
From Suite101.com:
“Ending the issue is ‘Eastlick’ by Shannon Page, the last of four evocations of childhood. This time the protagonist is Laura, child of divorce in late seventies / early eighties California, moving into a new neighbourhood with her single mother, and painfully aware of boys. Page beautifully evokes the awkwardness of adolescence and from the moment the guy invites Laura to a party the reader has the requisite foreboding. Recommended.”
And from SFRevu:
“Last of all, “Eastlick” by Shannon Page is the story of a young girl, named Laura, who is becoming a woman. She’s very interested in Dana, the boy next door. She tells him her name is Lara and that she is turning 14 on Halloween, even though she is actually turning 12. But her puberty is unleashing more than what is usual and this scares her.. and scares us as well! Page has contributed a very good coda for this issue.”
Yay!
