Review Detail

Short Story #1: Working in a Winter Wonderland

I'm not quite sure but there was just something I did not like about this story...maybe it was the main character who could not see past her nose....maybe it was just the lack of plot...I'm not exactly sure. What definitely bothered me the most though, was the relationship between the two characters. It was completely random and I could not see it coming, much less that the character liked her. It just seemed completely random and weird to me.
Short Story #2: Have Yourself a Merry Little Breakup

At least this story made sense. It was a story of a girl and a guy, getting together behind their boy/girlfriend's backs. The wrench was the fact they were all close friends. This story was good but, it seemed cut short. It was like you had only read half of it. I would've liked it better had the author wrapped things up and closed the story. Still, it was decent.

Short Story #3: Scenes from a Cinematic New Year's

This was definately a well-worked New Year's story. It had elements of a ghost story, Hollywood, pop stars and a deep lesson molded into the center. I devowered it like rich chocolate and enjoyed it as much. It just seemed to piece together and it included everything the holidays are about. For once, a cute story in this collection!

Short Story #4: The Christmas Choos

This was a delightful take on one of my favorite stories. This took The Gift of the Magi and applied it to a common situation. It was adorable, realistic, cute and funny. I definately would like to read more from this author and I plan on doing so.
