I am a man, I eat of the beef, I look at the bosoms, and I giggle like a school child when things go boom. I am also a man, I am comfortable with my sexuality, I cry when the tears need to flow, and I think puppies are cute.
Why do I make the previous statements? Simply because I want the readers of this review to have the slightest understanding of who I am, and where my mindset comes from before reading my review.
Nicole Ireland has written a heartwarming and very inspirational short story here. I am not a fan of reviews that offer spoilers, even more so when you are dealing with a short story.
As I mentioned, the story is an inspirational one, as in it guides the reader to realize that life is in fact precious and should never be taken for granted. If there is something you have ever desired to do, A Second Chance implores you to find a way to make it happen. You know that dream vacation you have always thought about? Yeah, as soon as you go buy this book, click on a travel website and start making plans, go, do it now. You may not ever have the second chance to do so.
The story is well written, well paced, and flows well. If Ms. Ireland has ever had doubts about her writing, I suggest she leave those thoughts to fester by themselves in a corner somewhere and forget about them. Keep writing!
