Book 47 of my 2022 Reading Challenge
His Happy Place
by Zakiya Dalila Harris
3 stars
This short story is part of the "Getaway" series from Prime Reading. The prologue helped explain the ending but also hurt the story itself. Since I knew what was going to happen it made the character's waffling on if she was hallucinating or not unnecessary. This format works in longer books because the reader kind of forgets or isn't sure what the journey to the ending will be but in a short story there aren't enough characters to muddle things up (so even in a first-person story it is clear who the narrator is and who the victim will be).
