An OK short story. Not a mystery in the traditional sense. Not too heavy on the suspense. Nor did the characterization or character development blow me away—in fact, I thought the central character change was insufficiently motivated. No thematic elements jumped out at me, either. Nor any great humorous lines (unless you find other people's problems humorous), though with mildly humorous moments. "Cute" is the word that comes immediately to mind, but with a bitter twist that left me wondering mostly, Where do the characters go from here? (Although on second thought, that's a twist that Hitchock might've been proud of, and definitely makes the story re-readable.)

The ebook also includes a sampling of Stacy Juba's work: worth checking out if you think you might like it.
