Reviews
"Schappell's stories read like snapshots-capturing precise moments from a woman's life from a distinct perspective. Considered together, Blueprints for Building Better Girls is a treasured photo album." - Bookpage, "Schappell…creates wise, sexy, funny, and fathoms-deep tales of dire miscommunication." - Booklist, "A hilarious, poignant achievement. . . . Schappell has an exceptional gift for bringing a vibrant, irresistible group of characters to life, making Blueprints a positively addictive read." -Meredith Maran, People (4 stars), "Despite the talent for arch comedy that Schappell and her characters share, the tragic dimension of each story sears the heart." - Kirkus Reviews (starred), "Memorable . . . seductive . . . Schappell's commanding, honest prose taps into a deeper sense of story that promises to resonate with many readers." -S. Kirk Walsh, San Francisco Chronicle, "This is brave stuff. I learned things reading this book. Hilarious and heartbreaking at the very same time, these mothers, daughters, wives are all struggling to be honest with themselves-and we get the gift of Schappell being honest with us. These characters are poignant, searing, memorable." -Elizabeth Strout, author of Olive Kitteridge, "Darkly funny. . . As distinctive and tart as the cherry on its cover, the stories have a comedic touch and ironic edge, softened by moments of memorable tenderness." -Elizabeth Taylor, "Editor's Choice", Chicago Tribune, "Like many American women, Elissa Schappell's characters live in that zone where toughness and vulnerability overlap. In this remarkable, deeply engaging collection of stories, Schappell introduces us to a wide variety of female characters, from reckless teenagers to rueful middle-aged moms, and asks us to ponder the mystery of how those girls became these women." -Tom Perrotta, author of Little Children, Schappell has the ability-and the guts-to cut straight through the 'girls gone wild' images that inevitably throb to mind (ouch) and show us the tender and often hopeful human beings that live inside these women-to-be., "Electrifyingly alive, funny, and thrillingly honest. You know these women, right down to the way they like their coffee. Schappell is an effortless stylist." -Caroline Leavitt, The Boston Globe, "The women in Elissa Schappell's new story collection ought to come with a warning label. Danger: Contents under pressure. Emotionally sensitive compounds may be present. Toxic sentiments could be released if disturbed or shaken. . . . Keep hands out of reach at all times, because also: These women bite. . . . Schappell's stories acutely evoke the disorientation induced in women by our culture's barrage of mixed messages . . . . [Schappell] is a diva of the encapsulating phrase, capable of conveying a Pandora's box of feeling in a single line." -Jennifer B. McDonald, The New York Times Book Review

Synopsis
Elissa Schappell, "a diva of the encapsulating phrase, capable of conveying a Pandora's box of feeling in a single line" ( The New York Times Book Review ) delivers eight provocative, darkly funny linked stories that map America's shifting cultural landscape from the late 1970s to the present day. Blueprints for Building Better Girls delves into the lives of an eclectic cast of archetypal female characters--from the high school slut to the good girl, the struggling artist to the college party girl, the wife who yearns for a child to the reluctant mother--mapping America's shifting cultural landscape from the late 1970s to the present day. Its interconnected stories explore the commonly shared but rarely spoken of experiences that build girls into women and women into wives and mothers. In revealing all their vulnerabilities and twisting our preconceived notions of who they are, Elissa Schappell alters how we think about the nature of female identity and how it evolves., Elissa Schappell, "a diva of the encapsulating phrase, capable of conveying a Pandora's box of feeling in a single line" (The New York Times Book Review) delivers eight provocative, darkly funny linked stories that map America's shifting cultural landscape from the late 1970s to the present day.Blueprints for Building Better Girls delves into the lives of an eclectic cast of archetypal female characters--from the high school slut to the good girl, the struggling artist to the college party girl, the wife who yearns for a child to the reluctant mother--mapping America's shifting cultural landscape from the late 1970s to the present day.
