Review: Minimalist fiction

By 'very short romance stories,' I think I was expecting stories of maybe one to two pages long, but these stories are more like extremely brief. I guess this type of fiction is called micro or hint, I'm not sure, but if you're a fan of that, you might like this download, as these stories here are only one to four sentences long. Each story is that brief, seeming more like a story-starter than a complete story. Here is one of the stories:<Shirley, what do you think? Should I take just one bikini?>The author acknowledges in the introduction that "every story is an entire novel...except [he] didn't write down the whole story." It's up to the reader to supply the rest of the story. And while I can appreciate the idea behind this work, these stories were just too brief to be truly satisfying or enjoyable for me personally.
