1st date, written with little to no descriptive elements.
Mostly just dinnertable conversation.

A dialogue between two people on their first date.

[Colleen · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a short novel about two people on a first date. They are struggling with how vulnerable to be, but become more and more vulnerable with their dinner table discussion. Some fun banter and some classic stereotypical comments about male and female dating perspectives. A quick read.

Marginal comment: "I'm no longer enjoying their realistic lameness".
