This story is about Seth and Ava. They meet back up at a college reunion. Ava has no desire to be there, but her favorite professor is retiring and she wants to see him. When he has a sudden heart attack, she meets up with Seth and they start emailing each other. I liked the transition between the words "email me" and the time in between. "One year and 1,473 emails later" - super cute.
Seth's big dream is to open up a restaurant and his goal is in sight. Ava has enjoyed emailing him but knows that he has a girlfriend. Seth's dedication to commitment has him feeling obligated to his girlfriend, but Ava is coming to mean a great deal to him as well. I think you can probably guess what the three little words are but getting there is the real story.
The characters in this short story are well developed and I'm impressed at the author's ability to write a complete story in such a short time. I loved all the characters. There's a teaser in there for From the Start at the end, and I'll be posting my review for that title on the 31st. This one happens just before the book, but you can read this one alone if you want to. As of today, it's free, so you're not losing anything by trying it out. This looks to be a great series and I look forward to more! The author has a great writing style that makes you want to keep reading. Good Novella!
