**Originally written for Book Bliss book blog. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased and honest review**Review:General: Time or Money is a cute slice of life novella that looks into a very real issue in many marriages. I think the novella was a perfect length, long enough to address the plot but not too long to extend past things that would interest a reader. I did feel the connection between the characters and felt they were well written in such a small space.The reason for the four star review was the "telling" versus showing. I felt that their were certain scenes that were beautifully and vividly written (the wine glass for one). However, for the most part I felt like I was being told elements about the couples past, told how things are and used to be as opposed to it being shown to me.Characters: Bridget- Bridget was a very real character to me. I felt for her as her whole life had become about her husbands jobs. I think her reactions and her hysteria were very much in the realm of possibility and enjoyed her getting her happy ending.Mason- Mason was a good guy. He was from the wrong side of the tracks and got caught up trying to make himself better, he was in a mental battle with himself and you couldn't really fault him for it. He was kind and aloof but overall his heart was in the right place.
