paddlefoot55 's review for:
A Shot at Forgiveness
by Cardeno C.
Copy received from author for an honest review
Remember that guy/girl at school that made your life miserable? Picking on you, getting their friends to pick on you?
And remember how your mum always said "they are probably picking on your because they like you"?
What would you do if 12 years down the track, that person came back into your life.
That is what happens to Rafi when Isaac walks - well barges, back into his life.
I adored how relentless Isaac was in his pursuit of Rafi. His honesty in saying what he wants. Though it did bug me a bit that he never really showed any remorse for his actions in high school, never really apologised. He should have been down on his knees (not like that!) and grovelling.
And yes, it does feel very stalkerish, and I know it will not be for everybody. But at the end of the day, it is a story. Fiction.
However, I liked how, with the luxury of hindsight, Rafi can see how things may have been if he had looked at them a different way.
As this is a short novella (17k words), of course everything seems to move at warp speed, but truthfully, it did not bother me.
