Here is my impression in a nutshell:Part "Arthur"Part "Bedazzled" (the movie, not the shiny buttons)100% Gen LaGrecaSince that was less than 20 words, here is more...I am not into rom-coms, and I try to avoid short stories because I like more depth. Still, one doesn't just pass up a chance to read new LaGreca work, so this story was a must-read. I will not give away any more of the plot than I already did with above movie references, except that for something this short, the story does cover a lot of ground. There is over-the-top humor/satire, social commentary and even a little bit of politics if you know where to look. At its core, though, 3 Days has the same theme as other works by this author: most of our limitations are self-imposed, and independence is a requirement for happiness. I took one star only because the story's resolution was obvious from the start, but I loved the final section that brought everything together just the right way. Very nicely done.
