Summary
In 10 dazzling stories, Saba Sams dives into the world of girlhood and immerses us in its contradictions and complexities: growing up too quickly, yet not quickly enough; taking possession of what one can, while being taken possession of; succumbing to societal pressure but also orchestrating that pressure. These young women are feral yet attentive, fierce yet vulnerable, exploited yet exploitative.
Threading between clubs at closing time, pub toilets, drenched music festivals and beach holidays, these unforgettable short stories deftly chart the treacherous terrain of growing up – of intense friendships, of ambivalent mothers, of uneasily blended families, and of learning to truly live in your own body.
With striking wit, originality and tenderness, Send Nudes celebrates the small victories in a world that tries to claim each young woman as its own.

Good.
Skilfully written pieces. And I’m sure engaging for many readers. Not so much for me. This perhaps because I have never been a girl/young woman growing up in the twenty first century. Neither timeless nor universal. Good all the same. Much eludes me, I know.

Thoroughly engaging stories
Sams has a ferocious talent and a mastery of detail. These short stories are intelligent, thought-provoking, and compelling. I hope she is working on a novel.

Best short story collection EVA
I love this so much and return to it again and again. The insights into childhood, adolescence and young adulthood are so good. There’s humour, pathos and so much humanity. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
