A review by regencyfan93
A Dark Love Story by Jonathan Treadway
2.0
I think the story followed its prompt very closely. I felt that I missed things with such a chosrt story. Both characters tell us that the other is "the one for me". But I didn't feel it.
My sympathy was with Joe. Joe comes home from a rough day at work, expecting to have a night in, is told that he has to go out to meet strangers, and has had clothes purchased for him.
Comments I would have if it happened to me.
- "If these are real friends, why can't I just wear my work suit? Why do I have to dress as someone I am not?"
- "All of my energy has gone into getting through the work day. I am grouchy now and it will only get worse if I have to be 'on' for other people."
I read this for a reader challenge, a book with a law enforcement theme.
