Review: Best Novella I have read
Rating: 5 out of 5

I just have to start with the fact this is the best novella I have ever read.  Usually shorter books/novellas are left with so much left out basically, feeling not a whole story at all, or just not very satisfying because the characters are left flat.  This honestly seemed the right length for this tale, which was full and complete in the short time frame.Carrie is a librarian in her 30s, who answers an online ad from Brian, an attorney, to meet Wednesdays at lunch for kissing only.  Odd, right?  As the story goes on we see why that strange ad appeals to him, and how it plays out for her.  This is a romance, so of course their Wednesdays are the start of something.Avoiding spoilers is a hard one here, but Brian has some things in his life that are overwhelming for him.  Those are portrayed in such a real and stark fashion, showing Brian clearly, his character, his weaknesses, his strengths, his sadness and fear of hoping for better.  He is actually the more delineated character in this, though Carrie was not skimped on given the short length.  So much was packed in those few pages.  I just loved this story, 5 stars from me, and I hope to read more by this author.I received a copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley for an honest review.
