Just when I thought I would never be okay again with short stories.. I get to read this. 
 I can definitely say that I am okay with this story being short. it's because to me, this book needed an immediate conclusion. I wanted the couple to be "okay" right away, so O'm perfectly fine with the length. 
 Nick and Ari's situation isn't very unique. In fact, I think many couples around the world experience this. Sometimes, the need to have a child is so overwhelming that couples forget what they really started together. They lose sight of each other and just grow apart after that. This is what exactly happened to Nick and Ari. They had to have a life altering event happen to them before finaly talking to each other again. That was just the first step. This book is about their journey to finding each other again. There are some bumps on their road, but if you ask me, the characters are so devoted to each other that there's no doubt that there would be a happy ending for them. 
 This is an emotional story. It will make you think as well as feel. Short, but really powerful, that's what this is. 
 I wish that all short stories are like this. :)
