Disclosure: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Authors who write fabulous short stories are to be admired. Not only do they need well developed characters, but the plot must be spot on. Any discrepancies or lack of skill become glaringly apparent, but it’s more than that. Within a short number of pages, the reader must be caught in the web of the story and flown through intricacies that the best of authors wrestle with in full length novels and/or series. So, authors able to achieve the impossible should be applauded, and H. Eugene’s Orange Slices is one such treasure.
From well developed characters to an immersive storyline, Orange Slices took me by surprise. Do yourself a favor and take an hour or afternoon to read H. Eugene’s short story. Oh, and by the way, grab a bag of orange slices to enjoy while you read. You’ll be happy you did!
Happy reading and eating!
