“Fireworks” is a novella, approximately 22,000 words.
Fireworks is a glowing beach worthy read. I enjoyed every moment reading this well written novella by Lindsey Gray. My only complaint I wish it was longer
Sparks are definitely in the air surrounding Sam and Sophie as teenager, but due to an minor age circumstance. Sam's mother puts an end to those flames. Which is understanding considering at the time Sam was 21 and Sophie was 16. this decision ultimately sends their love lives on to different paths. Fast forward ten years fate causes these two paths to cross again rekindling the spark they once had. Despite the failure
I would have love to see Sophie's ex and his brother to go to jail for what they did to her, but I guess we can't always get what we want.
Truth be told I assumed that Sam's ex Lola would have caused more drama throughout this tale, because not only was she a tad selfish. She was also border line bat s!!t crazy.
I found it very refreshing how Ms. Gray was able to allow the secondary characters to have a real voice in Fireworks. Giving more affirmation to how everyone had a real impact on Sam's and Sophie's road to happiness.
Overall I enjoyed reading Fireworks and I can't wait to read more from Ms. Gray. I would defiantly recommend you to check this short read out.
