A cracking little story which proved to be just ‘write’ up my street.
How negative, sad feelings of both jealousy and discrimination can so quickly manifest themselves into far- reaching, life-changing consequences and ultimately outright tragedy.
Put simply, the tale of what could possibly happen when boy meets girl…and black meets white.
A quite brilliant, naturally flowing, quick little read which just left me wanting more…so good!
Rating: 4.4 bright, bright stars.

This book has everything that a longer novel has without feeling open ended. Includes love, jealousy, lies, secrets, murder, and racism. I know this is only one short story out of "How to Make a Monster" and this definitely makes me want to read the rest of it.
