I adored Red at Night! This is another novella that I would have loved to read more of as a full-length novel. Stella's dad is never around, so she lives with one of his ex-girlfriends, and hangs out in the cemetery in her free time. Jonah was at the scene of a car accident where he tried to help a man who wound up dying. He now visits the man's grave which is how he meets Stella. The two begin hanging out in the cemetery, just talking, but Stella tries to keep him at arm's length since she doesn't care to hope for more. Of course, by the end, they're together, and it was really sweet.What I loved most about Red at Night was that there was no huge drama. Stella and Jonah just naturally come together and I needed more of their cemetery dates! I also really liked Jonah standing up to his friend who's been bullying Stella since they were kids. And I loved watching Stella dare to dream of more from her life despite her less than ideal living and financial situation. I just really, really liked this one.
