This is an excellent short story. But let me say from the first: you MUST read Ms. Ferreira's "My Recycled Soul" first (which isn't hard because that is an awesome book) to truly understand why Elizabeth makes the seemingly unbelievable choice(s) that she makes, and who Devlin really is. And who is he more than twice. This story really added another level of understanding to a book I have now read twice. But you probably won't appreciate how poignant this is without the whole story. It would have worked even if it hadn't been separated from the book.And just remember - everyone ends up where they're supposed to be and everything happens for a reason.:)I received a free copy of this from the author and that in no way influences my review. Since I never read short stories, I'm glad she helped me find this one. It made "My Recycled Soul" all the better.
