Be careful what you wish for... Three cutting-edge writers explore the high-wire risk of having a sexual wish come true. In "Jodi K" by Jill Soloway, the award-winning writer/producer of Six Feet Under, a suburban teenager is a skeptical part of every high school make-out scene, but her heart is fixed on the middle-aged man next door. "Charmed, I'm Sure" by Eric Albert, a frequent contributor to Best American Erotica, tells of a single man who enters into a contract with a modern-day witch and finds there are unforeseen complications even in the most magical seductions. The young woman in "Bending" by Greta Christina, the author of Paying for It, can't seem to find an alternative sexual position...until her friends and lovers come up with a scheme that opens her up -- literally -- to her real needs and desires.

On the other hand, the third novella simply isn't up to the level of the other two. Told from the point of view of an immature 14-year-old who comes across as being unbelievably ditzy and unlikable, the work simply wanders. Where I read each of the other novellas in a single respective sitting, I couldn't stand the annoying pov of this novella for more than a few pages at a time, and while I finally powered through the last twenty pages of it today, just to be done, it simply wasn't enjoyable, or even particularly well-written. This may be the view some individuals have of teenagers, but most teenagers actually aren't quite this dumb and unthinking, not to mention inconsistent.
Simply, the first two novellas in the collection are well worth the read, funny and original and clever. The last one is one to skip. ( )
