Cooler - it’s amazing the fear vindictive exes can strike in a person’s heart. Fortunately, it was quickly resolved in this short. Cute!

Friends - I liked this one! It felt only a little rushed, but only because I needed and WANTED more background! I love the idea behind the story and wish there was more!

Picturing Us - it was ok. Kind of a lot of issues to fit into such a short story that took place during the course of a couple hours. It needed more time to stretch and grow into what it could have been.

Without Saying a Word - well, this one just had me crying! What a touching relationship the two characters had. Love truly can overcome whatever barriers are put before you!

Seashell Secrets - Ok. This was great. And I’m really getting a feeling of getting the best, climactic parts of a story to indulge in. I need more!

Come Rain or Shine - cute! I wish I was more like Angelique, happy and brave and generous with her time. I think we all need someone like that in their life. Good thing Ryan figured out he needed her, too!

Picked - yeah! I want more like this one! I look a good YA short. Super cute!

Constance - lovely period short. I liked that Felix finally realized what a dunce he’d been and didn’t waste time in going for what he wanted. Quick learner! Haha!

Longtime Love - THIS is why I love reading short stories. That was adorable! *sigh* Some of the other stories felt like they needed more to it to be told correctly, but this one didn’t need more. I WANTED more, though!

Tell Me - I feel like this could have been the ending of a much longer story. There was a LOT of past history to pack into this, and while it did an ok job of doing it, it was just ok. 🤷‍♀️
