Uhm short stories are fine. The meaning of the whole story was good.

But oh my god was it terribly written. Even a short story should have more flow and be better than this drivel.

This was actually pretty good. It wasn't the best ever, and at times while I read it, I felt like I could go on Mibba (or even Wattpad, after much digging), and find one at the same level of writing.* But in all, it was a good story. The opening was so strong, and I could feel her emotion, and personally could relate to her. It was like that as it went along, too. I feel the ending, though while I did like it, has some elements to it that just...fall flat, I guess, for lack of a better term. It wasn't as emotionally grabbing as the rest of it. I almost want to say it was as developed as the rest. I'm not sure. But as I said, it was a decent way to end it. I guess that I just wish there was perhaps a little more to it.

(*Actually, if you look in the right spots, there are some fairly good ones, especially on Mibba. So this could be taken as a complement. Or that's my opinion at least...)

Overall I am a little disappointed by this one, I really felt that there was a good concept in this book but for some reason, this book just seemed to be riddled with grammatical errors, unlike the author's other books, this one just did not flow right.

This story felt like a school project for a middle schooler. It has a good message and was really short. I recommend this to anyone who is 16 books behind on their yearly reading goal.

Me gusto la idea en general que trata de transmitir la historia. Con el fin del año acercandose solo puedo decir: libros cortos vengan a mí!

Even though this is a short story I love it and it's kinda true because some people are so shy but are are really cool people on the inside and just take some time to get to know them
