Reviews

[Hal Brodsky · Rating 2 out of 5]

Dated novella that starts off as a of novel of manners and then devolves into an at times interesting philosophical discussion before crash landing into an all time cop out of an ending.

This story is worth falling asleep to. A woman falls for a guy that disgraces her instead of a good guy. The good guy finds her & she eventually falls for him but can't get over her past. She doesn't even get the memory altering procedure she suggests. Instead she keeps herself from the good guy causing him more grief for the rest of his life.
