Reviews

[Madelon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Often when we think of being trapped in a dead-end job, it's one of working in the fast-food industry, or doing boring office work. Not so for the heroine of "Escaping Raul." This story is very short and not very sweet. It is a well-written page-turner. The ending packs a gut punch.

I liked this one and I definitely didn't expect the ending.
