Mostly Murders

“Romance is overrated,” Brooke declared. “Give me a couch, snacks, and women who know my trauma.”

Hannah is single and happy to spend Valentine’s Day with friends, but as the drinks flow and the ladies begin to exchange stories about their ex-boyfriends, the idea that someone else’s ex might have been wrong for them but right for someone else crops up. Ditched your last ex because you thought he was too boring? Someone else might find stability attractive. Charming ex who was unwilling to commit? Someone else might want a spontaneous, living-in-the-present type of guy. But do you really want your ex to be happier with someone else than they were with you?

A fun, cozy romance short story about friendship, learning to let go and embracing new experiences. The sense of humour is warm and relatable, the characters are fun and sympathetic, and the alternative take on a Valentine’s story is entertaining and refreshing. Absolutely recommended for anyone looking for a fun, quick-to-read, feel-good romance short story with lots of heart and warmth.
