This was my first fiction single and wondered how a single could be done well in such a short format. Would it read like a long-short story or an incomplete novelette? No. It was actually the perfect read for a one-sitting piece of fiction not unlike long fiction magazine pieces that years ago were the norm and now seem to have gone the way of the eight-track tape.I have read a few non-fiction singles that seem to fit the singles format well and was pleasantly surprised to find out that fiction works well, at least with "Sparkle" in this format. I didn't find the authors language offensive, as some have mentioned. It seemed to be in line with the characters, so it didn't really stand out as out of place. All in all, an entertaining read.
