Marriages are tested in “Second Honeymoon,” “Circling the Drain,” and “Dead End.” “Tourism for Broken Hearts” marks the end of a relationship. “The Baths” and “Six Hours in Santorini,” explore the sexuality of suburban soccer moms.

Sleeping Beauty Saves Herself: Stories

Bad dates, bad decisions, and bad days are no match for the strong women and nonbinary characters in Sleeping Beauty Saves Herself: Stories. “Bulletproof Breasts,” “Sleeping Beauty Saves Her Own Ass,” and in the “Squirrel and the Fox” explore feminist fairy tales. To-do lists send an emotional sucker punch in “Agenda” and “Bleach.” The consequences of love are felt in “Stalking Mr. Right,” “Popsicle,” and “Writing Retreat.” With her trademark wit and wry prose, Danielle Dreger once again proves her storytelling prowess.
