I dont even know how I feel about this one. I know something was gonna go down but girl idk.

I just hope no man EVER SUGGEST SOME SHIT LIKE THAT TO ME. I will join you when it's truly my time. Also there has to be something behind why they all called Mrs. Dulane. Why is bestie referring to me as such???

I truly don't know how to feel or rate this. Just know that this will NEVER BE ME.

This is the shortest story I’ve read. And I enjoyed it!

Gerald from the beginning was such a thought and caring man. I was like this is couple goals fr BUT nahhh my answer is no wtf

I hoped it was going to be a spicy but I got something better a twist. It’s cute and quick

Short Beautiful story about Unconditional love. The ending was definitely unexpected, didn’t think it would end like that nonetheless It was a good read.

I feel conflicted about this book. I thought it was sweet, but throughout the story, I kept wondering where the husband was. It was very touching to find out that he planned the Valentine's Day celebration beyond the grave, but asking him to join her feels selfish. I guess based on the title it makes sense.
I hope a love like this never finds me!
The expectations are ridiculous.

3.5 for me because I don’t even really know what I just read… it wasn’t bad but it definitely was an interesting and wild few pages. I need to give this one some more thought

[Shatyona · Rating 3 out of 5]

Lot of triggers and definitely a dark short romance story

[Alicia J. · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Kkaaccyy · Rating 3 out of 5]

I have so much anxiety and questions for such a short story🫣

[Ashley Cummins · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am not going to recommend this to anyone, but it made me smile and then it made me cry. All in 20 pages. The author needs her laptop taken away though.

The author is talented. To capture your attention and leave you with such an impression in just a few short pages - amazingly unhinged.

[Myana · Rating 4 out of 5]

This romance short follows Leslie on Valentine’s Day without her husband for the first time in decades. All I have to say is PLEASE don’t EVER give me this type of loveeeee😂
