A charming short story.

Us Again is a short story so I don’t judge them quite the same way I would a full novel or even a novella. There is no time for character development but that doesn’t mean it can’t be a good story.Alex loves Sammy but Sammy sends him away. When Sammy’s brother calls to ask Alex to come see Sammy in the hospital Alex doesn’t think that Sammy will want to see him. And he doesn’t…or does he?

Sammy broke Alex’s heart when he sent him away and now Alex hates seeing him emaciated with an IV bag pumping fluids into him. When Sammy sends him away again, he’s crushed.

Nell Iris does an excellent job of giving us the bare bones details about Sammy and Alex. It’s enough to paint a very vivid picture of how they met, why they broke up and how they get back together again. It’s a very tender love story and I thought it was great.
