I picked this up as a free download, not really knowing what to expect. I love reading short stories between longer novels, as they are a quick read and are usually fun and lighthearted, giving me a breather between more intense reads. Well this one starts of being fun and lighthearted, and I was drawn in immediately. Lauren is bumming out around her apartment, and her roommate, Harlow guilts her into going to a speed dating event. The event ends up being more that she expected, with cause for some introspection and remembrance of love lost.The beauty of this story, is that is was wonderfully written, with great dialogue, funny laugh out loud moments,  and engaging characters. In a short amount of time, the reader is completed involved with the story, and it goes from fun and light to a little deeper and serious that you stop and say, "what just happened here?" I found myself wanted to know more, yet feeling totally emerged in the story, and to me, that is when you know that you have read a good short story.
