Not a bad book, but it lacked, well, everything, it was just too short for me to feel any connection. But it had a dog, so an extra star for that…

Two childhood friends meet again but one finds sad changes. It's a touching story but also moving as one wants to do all he can to help his now disabled friend. A short, sweet, heartwarming tale.

This is a great premise but I needed more. Maybe there is too much here for a short story format and a novella would have been a better choice. As a result I felt like I didn’t get enough to satisfy me. Does the relationship work out in the real world? How does Sam work with Teddy? They don’t live in the same place…what happens with the relationship? What does Sam do for a living now? I feel like a read a chapter out of a larger book instead of a complete story.

Second chances

Such a sweet story. I would love to read an expanded story to find out what happened after their first night of reconnecting. Sam and Nick had such a strong connection that fizzled like many childhood friendships. It is because of a tragic accident that they meet again. I wish this had been a longer story though.
