Customer Reviews
Best novella out there, hands down.
At times the story is tough to read, in the most beautiful and eloquent way. There's an authenticity and energy that shines through and gives the story an impossible-to-replace shine. I got so attached to the characters that I could not put it down. Reading some of the details of the characters' lives made me grit my teeth together as the author brings you through their lives seamlessly. The best parts? The two moments that left my jaw hanging. Trust me, you have to read this to find out. It is definitely worth the quick read.
Excellent quick read.
The authors use of language was able convey such realism in every scene. The story kept me reading till the end and surprised me with a mind blowing ending. Great read.
