Lisa’s Dress is a story about love, loss, guilt
and maturity. By refusing to take responsibility for his actions, Will
jeopardizes his family. His wife’s wedding dress, which hangs in his
closet, serves as a painful reminder of what it is to love and lose
someone.
I was able to relate
to both main characters, although I wanted to slap Will a time or two for his
stubbornness and the time wasted.
This short story kept
me engaged and the end was satisfying. I will definitely look out for other
books written by Ms. Matthews.

NOTE:
Well done and fitting, I think. I like it.

Thank you so much J. L.! :-)
ReplyDeleteNo problem. I enjoyed the story.
ReplyDeleteNice straightforward review. I love short stories that are engaging, with complex interesting characters. The kind of stories I try to write.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping in, Julia. You'd probably enjoy this one.
DeleteI think it's amazing how we stumble across people. Great site!
ReplyDeleteHey J.L,
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you. This does sound good. And anyone who admits to want to slap characters fits into my world. I do a lot of virtual slapping...

Hi, Tina,
DeleteGood to meet you too. There are some character that you can't help wanting to do bodily harm. Guess the writers have done a good job when that happens.
Hmm, intrigued now to see if I want to slap a character, will check it out ;)
ReplyDeleteThat will happen if the character is holding steady, doing the not-so-sensible thing. :)
