My fatal flaw with short stories is that when I really love them, I get very upset that they’re not full length novels. This might be the most upset I’ve ever been in this context. The buildup of chemistry and banter through ten Valentine’s Days in emails was AMAZING. The humor was top notch. Even though I knew exactly where the story was going and how it’d end, my heart was POUNDING as they slowly figured out exactly who was who. Top to bottom, perfection. I’ll be smiling the rest of the week.
