review 1: This free short story definitely was not what I expected. I didn't know what I was reading until after I finished. All I knew was that this was a free since the title didn’t give anything away.It begins when Violet is at home and she receives a package. She doesn’t have many friends so she wonders where she got it from. She has made a name for herself. She is very successful. She has her own car and home in which she lives alone. She has a very abusive boyfriend named Mick, which she seems to always end up with when he decides to return to her. They would get into arguments and he would leave for weeks. When he returns it would be like nothing even happened. Violet knew that the beautiful box on her doorstep was not from him. When she opens it, weird things start to ha... moreppen. In the box is a necklace that apparently changes her. But it mostly helps her gain confidence. There was nothing super special about this short story but I would recommend to anyone looking for an eerie short story about the revenge of the girlfriends. Haha
review 2: It should really be a book and not a short story...but I'm just not a short story person so I would say that about most short stories. The first sentence had me captivated. I really disliked the cursing and abusive boyfriend bit...I wish I could rewrite the book using the first sentence and the idea of the "gift" being absorbed into her was cool. Could have been sooo much better had it been developed more. less
