I shall have to revise my opinion that it's hard to create a short story with satisfying plot and characters.  This is the second work I've read recently where the author did a fine job of crafting a short story worth reading, with a satisfying ending.  I liked the characters.  Supporting and main, they were quite likeable and believable.  The plot was simple:. boy meets girl, girl hates boy,  boy gets girl.  The conflict to resolution process was well paced, unforced, and very nicely accomplished.  The only strain is believing that all the action can take place in a week or two.  But this is fiction, and fiction is a willing suspension of disbelief, no?If you like happily ever after, with warmth and humor mixed in and characters you'd like to have over for dinner, this story is for you.  I gave it 4 stars only because I hated to put it down, but it probably deserves 5 stars for beginning and ending so quickly and completely.
