Short story collection featuring American authors

This is a short story collection featuring 17 different American women's fiction authors, the most famous of whom is probably Jennifer Weiner (In Her Shoes, Good in Bed). Like virtually all short story collections I've ever read, I found the stories to be very hit-or-miss. Weiner's contribution, "The Truth About Nigel," about a woman's burgeoning crush on a mysterious co-worker, was one of the best. I also liked "The Bamboo Confessions" by Lauren Weisberger, a sort of self-discovery tale of a woman on a backpacking tour of Vietnam, and I found Judi Hendricks' "Andromeda on the Street of Ducklings" sweetly poignant. I particularly related to "Forty Days" by Jill Smolinski, about a woman reaching the same milestone birthday I've just reached myself, and as a psychologist, I enjoyed reading the main character's amusing perspective's on therapy in Cindy Chupack's "Moving Day." Additional authors featured in this book include Lauren Weisberger, Adriana Trigiani, Melissa Senate, and Laura Wolf. Overall, if you enjoy women's fiction in general and short stories in particular, this book is a worthwhile read.
