Reviews

[Cherisse · Rating 2 out of 5]

Short, simplistic, feel-good story with a nice Chrismasy romantic feeling. Somewhat repetitive wording (and some typos) about the Magic that can happen at Christmas, as two lonely souls find each other.


I kept thinking that today's reality is that Sally really needed to be more cautious about going home with a stranger. If this story was in the horror genre, she would have been raped/killed/etc. Sally, an IT specialist, seemed really passive - having a fiance for 10 years, then being dumped by him; just simply following a stranger's suggestions, including staying over the first night, etc. Michael, an engineer, seemed rather wealthy (big house, Renault car, pearl necklace as a first Christmas gift). And what's with a cream jumper for a guy's gift? Okay, better stop here.

Overly simplistic and very short story, with quite a number of punctuation errors.
Who would go home with a stranger just after meeting them (OK, maybe I am showing my age here) and who would give pearls to a girl he has just met?
