Review: Mediocre report card
Rating: 3 out of 5

In order to review this novella, I would have to break it down into "report card" segments.Writing style: A, breezy and funCharacter development: C, the characters are one-dimensional, making extremely brief appearancesStoryline: F.  This author has writing talent, but the story is weak.  With a better storyline, this writer could kick some authorship butt.This novella took me 3 hours to read.  These days, an ebook that costs $2.99 is a full-size book, not a novella, so in this regard, I think this one is overpriced.Briefly, the protagonist is an artist who is living off her boyfriend as she tries to make her mark in the art world.  The relationship is like a tight shoe, pinching, but maybe too good to throw away.  Parting company for a week offers the artist an opportunity to change her life dramatically.  A year later, when the ex-boyfriend confronts the now successful artist for a reconciliation, she punches him in the face, sending him sprawling.  The end.I haven't read any of this author's other material, but I would start with something else.
