I actually really, really enjoyed this short story. It took a little bit to get into. And I wasn’t really sure what I was expecting, but I actually found this incredibly enjoyable. Which of course is exactly what you want when you read a short story.
From the moment that Jonas found solace in Betsy, I was expecting them to get a happily ever after. It didn’t quite go the way that I anticipated, but it was still an interesting adventure. Plus, there was a whole lot of mystical stuff in there that gives them an unexpected happily ever after. I’m still not quite sure how it all worked out – but I felt happy at the completion of the story.
This short story was a really cute and easy read. I love that the woman rescues the man, not the other way around. And that they get to have a happily ever after that was both unexpected and well appreciated.
