The Gift was a sweet story. A bit awkward in parts, but overall, sweet.Also, it's not a novella at all--a novelette (lengthier short story), yes. My guess is just under 12,000 words.Overall, this story was sort of shallow--none of the characters felt fleshed out or real which tempts me to drop it to 3 stars, but I'm feeling generous.
