Three Sides of a Heart,
Natalie C. Parker, 448 pages
This is a collection of short stories, all having to do with
love triangles of various kinds – taken very loosely, which is a fun twist.
Many of the stories are queer, some are abstract, and some are fairly
run-of-the-mill. Most of them I enjoyed, although there was one in particular I
found completely confusing – it shifted POV-character constantly and presented
the same three characters in different settings, with little indication of a
shift. Maybe I would’ve enjoyed it more upon a second, more careful read, but
by the time I finished that story I was so relieved to be done with it I didn’t
think of going back.
This is a pretty good collection. The diverse and many-faceted
interpretations of what exactly a love triangle could be bring unexpected
pleasure to the read, and if one particular story doesn’t catch your interest,
they’re all pretty short and the next one might.
