Saturday_ShortStory - 5 (Niiice)

Hey Guys!!!

Today's Short Story is, as the title says "Niiice". 
First, huge thanks to the author for providing me with the free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Name: Niiice
Author: Summer Michaela McGaha
Genre: Young Adult Romance, Comedy
Published in: 2019

My Ratings: 4 Buzzes out of 5.

(SPOILER ALERT: MEDIUM)

"Breath is one of the simple things people try to ignore or pretend doesn’t exist—maybe because they don’t want things to be so easy."

The story starts with Elise searching for Bertie, whom she met casually in a Mall. Elise is a very shy and introvert girl and isn't good at socialising (just like me😅).

Now she is thinking back to how she met him. This is how she met him.

One day while buying gifts for her brother she accidentally meets this young guy called Bertie, who offers her a job.

Wait. The main story is yet to start. 

So, she goes to him and meets Bertie and all of his friends (they all work together in the toyshop). While introducing themselves they all narrate their story of how they met each other. From here on, the story goes in past. 

This story of their past is amazing (and deep). I love when YA fiction is relatable with all those clumsy and anxious incidents in the life of a middle school guy. You laugh at times and feel sad for them at other times.

The interesting thing about this story was that it was narrated in 4 different PoVs! 

(That means the whole story has 5 PoVs including Elise's)

Also, it is not repetitive which makes it truly incredible. As you may have seen when the same story is narrated once again with a different PoV, it becomes repetitious.

The story mostly covers the past of Bertie. His experiences of a boy in middle school and his relationship with his friends.

Coming back, the story continues with Elise and Bertie.

Talking about the romantic element, well, for me it was the perfect amount. Not too much nor too less. Just simple and sweet.

To sum up, this book is what the title says "Niiice".

Now, the thing I do not like about this book is that it ends. OK, OK.

I know every book has to end at some point. But I thought that this book could have been a little longer. To give some more time for the character development of Elise, who I thought would have been an excellent protagonist.

I know this book sounds a little complicated from my review but trust me the construction of this book is easy to catch up. So don't worry about that.

All in all, I think this book is well written and fans of simple, general YA fiction with a little bit of a romance would love it.
