This story was really cute. I loved getting the long backstory for Mari (the FMC), but I wish we’d gotten more of Chev’s (the MMC) backstory.
Heart-Shaped Box began as an anthology short story, and was expanded upon as a Novella. I loved getting to see how Mari & Chev’s romance began. The tangled webs of young romance were such a blast of nostalgia! It truly brought me back to my college days, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
I wish we had gotten to see more of Mari & Chev’s romance though. The epilogue tied things up nicely, but I wish there was more to read in that gap of time.
