If the Fates Allow: A Short Story by Rainbow RowellMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
3 out of 5 stars - It was ok
Book Summary:
Social distancing came easily to Reagan. But Reagan doesn’t want her grandpa to be alone for Christmas this year—he’s already spent too much time on his own in 2020. So she heads back to her hometown with a dish of holiday Jell-O salad, hoping it will be safe…
She isn’t expecting to run into the boy next door. Mason is all grown up now. He’s considerate. He’s funny. He doesn’t mind how prickly Reagan is—he maybe even likes it. And it makes Reagan feel like her defenses are falling. She needs her defenses, doesn’t she? In a time when six feet is close enough, how long can they keep their distance?
Review:
I felt like this needed to be fleshed out a bit more. It was a cute, short story… but it could easily have been made into more of a novella. I liked and completely related to the characters. I think it hit a little too close to home though…
