Review: Good but not emotionally engaging
Rating: 4 out of 5

When I heard about this short story, I knew I wanted to read it before reading “The Bridge.“ It‘s a quick read that introduces readers to Donna and Charlie, owners of The Bridge bookstore. I enjoyed it, and I definitely can‘t wait to read “The Bridge,“ but this story lacked the emotional impact present in most of Kingsbury‘s writing. I was interested in the story, but I wasn‘t emotionally engaged. Still, I‘d recommend it as a precursor to “The Bridge.“
