Pretty good short story. ( )

This was ADORABLE!



I think there could have been so much more to this story, but the little snippet was perfect. Now I have to read [b:All Is Bright|10021120|All Is Bright|Sarah Pekkanen|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1328300896s/10021120.jpg|14916561] because I want to know more about Elise!

Bookshout has been my home for quick little reads and it's actually had me discovering authors that I didn't know anything about! I would very much like to read more by [a:Sarah Pekkanen|2982045|Sarah Pekkanen|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1398062471p2/2982045.jpg] now because I really like her use of description and her ability to create characters that hold on to your soul!

Excellent! ( )

Its a very short story and ended very unexpectedly but Good! The author has known where to put a ".". The book is about unexpectedly meeting someone passing by the streets and where the story can actually go if we let, beautiful variation about the topic how you can meet your future bf. ( )

This spinoff to the short story All Is Bright was just as enjoyable as its predecessor. In this story we hear from Ilsa, the woman who takes over the space in Griffin's heart now that Elisa (the heroine in All Is Bright) has vacated. She instantly feels an electric chemistry with Griffin from the moment they meet. Their relationship is a whirlwind and it doesn't seem strange, at first, that Griffin proposes to her just six weeks after they started dating. That is until she starts wondering how much Griffin might still feel for Elise.

When Griffin and Ilsa go home to meet his parents a few weeks after becoming engaged, she realizes just how engrained in their family dynamic Griffin's ex girlfriend truly is. She is already a part of the family and the way they purposely try not to discuss her makes Ilsa feel like an outsider. She cannot help the jealousy that surfaces or her ultimate need to meet this woman and see for herself what Griffin had given up.

I think most people can relate to the feeling that they are treading on already covered ground when dating someone who has either recently broken up with someone else or has had a long term relationship before them. How Ilsa handles these feelings and her ultimate meeting with Elise show her as a vulnerable yet enigmatic character and one I hope Sarah Pekkanen writes more of in the future. ( )

I adore e-short stories! Sarah is a wonderful author (I just discovered with her new book “The Best of Us” (a 5 star), which I read first, so diving into reading her other previous books. (I usually start with new ones which pull me into the author and then start backwards).

Being in the online media world, front covers are a big draw as well as reading works of my favorite authors---especially with e-books, as the crisp colors are so appealing since you do not have the typical print front cover to view. Love Accidently has a feel good front cover and e-stories are very short you can start at midnight, get teased and a “preview” of what is to come, plus they are inexpensive.

The story grabs you from the beginning at the setting of a sidewalk café, Ilsa Brown sees a dog get hit in a car accident, and since she is a vet, runs to the scene and this is where she meets Griff, the dog’s owner (of course the meeting lasts and turns into a relationship-having cancelled on the date she was originally meeting).

All is well; however, when traveling to meet his wonderful parents in Chicago, she discovers Grif’s old girlfriend (a since kindergarten love-worst kind). She discovers she must learn more about this connection prior to walking down the aisle with her new love. Be sure and read “All is Bright” another e-short story with the girlfriend’s perspective, and some of same characters
