I don’t like short stories as I always feel ripped off. I love epic tales that I can completely get immersed in.
Keegan, you’ve thrown in a monkey wrench.
This is a quaint Irish Christmas story. An unremarkable man doing a remarkable thing that will have consequences.
And of course I was left wanting more…..
4⭐️ Because I need a longer story!!

Sometimes a short story is just not enough.
Yes! I almost always want more...unless the short story sucks. 🤣 I'll look for this in December! Great review, Jen!
Glad you liked it, Jen! Every review I've seen for this has been good, so I'd love to read it, too, but I just can't see myself paying $18 for what is essentially a short story! Lower the price and then maybe.🤑
Both a blessing and a curse to want more! ♥️ Wonderful review, Jen! I’m looking forward to this gem.
Glad to enjoyed it! I wanted a longer story too. ;)
Really Nice Jen. Reading this now🙂.Think I am almost done but really liking it.

Great timing, Rich! Glad you are enjoying it too :)
I kind of feel the same way about short stories, but I've added a few to my Tbr. I always want more too!
I'm glad you loved this even if it was too short.
Haha! I feel the same way about shorts too! :)
Terrific review Jen Jen - and yes I agree with you totally - should be longer!!

Glad you liked the story, Jen, even though you wanted more :-)
Thanks Kathleen 😊
I do enjoy shorties sometimes but I agree they can leave you with wanting more. A great review Jen!
Nice review , thanks Jen, a shortie might just be what I need as sometimes I have trouble staying focused on a longer novel with so many serious distractions on the world.

A nice and precise review, Jen. I did enjoy this more for its message than for its length. But agree, it leaves you wanting more. :)

I much prefer longer tales too Jen, but I do love it when a short story can surprise me! Great review 🧡

Yes Jen,we are left wanting lots more,aren’t we? I loved this story and would love to read what happens next.
Me too, Mary!! So curious 🤨
Lovely! I'm a fan of short stories - good ones, like this, where you can imagine what came before and might come after. They can be a delicious slice of life, but they do need some depth.

I struggle with short stories too. Glad this collection worked out for you! Wonderful review, Jen! 💖
Great review, Jen!
Thanks Brenda & Julie :))
I am not a fan of short stories either, but you have me intrigued. This sounds impressive and engaging! I am going to have to check it out!
