Book Review: The Girl in the Converse Shoes (Short Story)


Book: The Girl in the Converse Shoes by Yaritza Garcia

Description:

This short story follows a geek in search of the mysterious girl that kissed him on Halloween, but his only clues are her blonde hair...and her pink Converse shoes.

Rating: 4 stars

I thought this short story was really cute. The story centered on Miles, a high school sophomore who went to a Halloween party with his friends. He was the only person not wearing a costume which was due to being dragged to the party at the last minute by his friends and also since he has no real interest in wearing one.

Not really having a good time especially after his friends ditched him, Miles walked around until he ended up getting kissed by a girl with blonde hair wearing a ballerina costume and pink Converse shoes. Since, he was cleaning his glasses at the time, Miles didn't get a good look at who had kissed him.

This leads to Miles trying to find his mystery girl at school the next day. It took him several days but he did find her but what made this so charming was she wasn't who he was expecting.

Despite being a short story, I thought it was well written and a good read.
