OVERVIEW
This was a free short story offered by Amazon First Reads for February 2025. Since I have never read anything by Abby Jimenez, this was an easy way to start!!
I really enjoyed this short story about a difficult topic - stalking. But the author made it not so difficult with some fun characters!
Now looking for the rest of Abby's books to add to my TBR list!
TRIGGER WARNING: Stalking, violence, incest, physical injury, infidelity
OVERALL REVIEW: 5.0 stars
Writing: 5.0 stars
Abby is an easy to read and fun writer. It was a perfect read after my very scholarly previous book.
Character development: 5.0 stars
The two main characters are Charlotte (the frightened stalkee) and Seth (the injured foot arborist) who are neighbors.
There are a lot of secondary characters including Izzy (Charlotte's friend), Gabe (Seth's friend), and John (the apartment property manager).
The tertiary characters were the hysterical ladies from the California Poppy Retirement home and George (the stalker).
Storyline: 5.0 stars
This short story is about two neighbors forced to spend Valentine's weekend together because their apartment stairs are erroneously removed.
NOTE: If you don't think this storyline could happen, it happened to me in my first apartment. The only difference was the banister was removed on a steep set of stairs and the only way to my apartment.
The main location is Burbank, California.
Memorable/Informative: 5.0 stars
For me, the girl power of Charlotte and Izzy was awesome! Put a sock on your baseball bat - read this short story to find out why!
Book cover: 4.0 stars
Nice.
Book title: 5.0 stars
Perfect - double entendre!
HIGHLY recommend
