Yes, I thought it was fantastic!! I was so impressed with it I actually remembered to go and vote for it on their website afterwards.

Is she a new writer? I don't remember hearing her name before.

The quality of her writing was so high.

It was a great story. If the author is on here, I’m pretty critical when it comes to frum fiction but this was really well done!

It was good but I loved the one the week before about the magazine article and the women with the bad marriage loved the twist at the end so creative

Don't know what point was intended but the message I got was, Don't tell anyone about your problems!
so, do you think she confronted her neighbor/writer with the truth, or just stopped telling her her problems, forcing the neighbor to actually come up with some helpful strategies in the serial that she now has to complete out of her own--obviously scheming--head?

Idk I just thought it was a funny story. It's entertainment there doesn't always have to be a lesson.

The author had me pulled in right from the beginning. It was very well written.

Not every story needs a message it was clever with a nice unexpected twist at the end and well written.
