About the author

Y. Correa is a literary evolutionary, luring one in with her talent of Romancing the Words, keeping one hypnotized with dynamic characters, and stimulating one with engaging narrative voices, strong plots, and epic conflicts.

The multi-genre decadence is where she showcases her magnificence.

I read the first sentence and realized I had no idea what this book was about. So I went back to goodreads to search the book and find out what it is about. Odette seems to have a problem finding true love. The kind that fairy tales are made up of, the kind that inspires and changed a person. Lately these days us (women) have the problem of finding true love, yes the kind that fairy tales are made of. Let's read about Odette's loves and losses. When you are blinded by "LOVE" you do not see the bad (abusiveness). It seems Odette has a cycle after the break up its More tears, more chocolate ice cream, more tissue boxes, phone calls and romedies.

Divertente

Questo mini-raccontino (solo cinque pagine) gratuito mi ha divertito davvero. L’autrice fa una carrellata dei disastri amorosi di Odette, raccontati dalla stessa protagonista. Più che una storia è un breve resoconto umoristico, che però descrive situazioni in cui molti di noi possono identificarsi. Il tema alla fine è la ricerca della persona giusta, fatta spesso nella maniera sbagliata, con risultati tutt’altro che buoni. Alla fine Odette non troverà ancora l’uomo della sua vita, magari sarà diventata più saggia e avrà imparato dai suoi errori, ma nonostante tutto non si perderà d’animo e continuerà a cercare.
Consigliato per passare una decina di minuti in allegria e conoscere una brava autrice indipendente.


Amusing

This free, ultra-short story (five pages only) really amused me. The author does a roundup of Odette's love disasters, narrated by the same character. More than a story this is a quick humorous report, but it describes situations in which many of us can relate to. In the end the topic is the search for the right person, often done in the wrong way, with results that are far from good. Odette won't find the man of her life yet, maybe she'll become wiser and will have learned from her mistakes, but in spite of all she won't lose heart and continue to seek.
Recommended to spend about ten minutes in joy and to know a good independent author.

I really like the comedic take on the search for love. I could definitely relate to the main character's plight. The only thing I do wonder is if the character is learning from each disaster or will the mantra of "I'm done" just serve as something that's appropriate to say yet with no follow through.

I feel no matter what wars the character has been through, she is ultimately a Soldier of Love. I am cheering for her to find her way, regardless of whether it's with Wade or not.

Content wise-a winner!

Fun little story. I really enjoyed it, especially Odette, the main character. She's very down to earth and easy to connect with. Great short story.
