All Good Stories eBook Linda G Hill
This book review is long overdue. I read All Good Stories about two years ago while on a weekend camping trip in the winter. It was the perfect e-book to bring along. We snuggled into our sleeping bags early since the days were short, and I had the pleasure of reading a light, entertaining, and quirky romance to ease me to sleep. Sort of. As with any good story, I'm wanting to read all the way through, and All Good Stories was no exception. As other readers have noted, you know from the get-go that Xavier and Jupiter belong together, and you root for that to happen. For a story written "off the cuff," Hill's characters are well-developed, interesting, and, best of all, people I'd like to meet and have a coffee with. The story is well-paced and, yes, there's a lovely twist at the end. All Good Stories made me smile ... often. If you need a pick-me-up, an escape from the daily drama of the world, you need look no further than All Good Stories.Product details

All Good Stories eBook Linda G Hill Reviews
As an author of a busy, fun blog who is a single mom facing some special needs tests, trials, and triumphs, Linda G. Hill won my admiration long ago. I love reading her blog. I enjoy participating in her challenges. So it is understandable that I had to read her book.
Remember the challenge question in When Harry Met Sally? No. Not the restaurant scene. Wouldn't we all want what she ordered? No. The question was Can best friends that are male and female remain friends or is it inevitable that romance would play a part? Sally believed in the friendship as I recall whereas Harry said that friendship can't stay in that realm. That sex was the most likely outcome.
All Good Stories attempts that question once again. This time it is through a series of smaller stories (started as A-Z challenge on Linda's blog) that tell of the ebb and flow of friendship of Jupiter and Xavier. I won't tell you how the story goes. I will merely say that there are topless pirates and bookstores involved. And there are laugh aloud situations. This is worth an evening with popcorn, at least. I enjoyed it and I think you will, too.
All Good Stories by Linda Hill would seem to be a collection of short stories but is, in reality, a whole tale told in vignettes. It is an ingenious and entertaining story as well. I have been reading Linda Hill’s blog for about three years. She never fails to amaze with her creative pieces of fiction. This novelette was published on her blog during a feature entitled A to Z. She published the work by crafting a title for each post beginning with the letter for that day. So it is no surprise then that there are Twenty-Six entertaining offerings.
The story is about two people Jupiter and Xavier who are destined to be together but don’t seem to know it. They are best friends, but that is the extent of their relationship until each makes a declaration of the desire for the other. This would be all fine and good, but there are surprises waiting which are included in a manuscript written by Jupiter. Any more disclosures of the story will certainly cause spoilers so suffice it to say the result is entertaining and intelligent,
The author has a real talent for the unusual. When the reader thinks the story will go one way it takes a hard turn in another. Linda's ability to keep the reader guessing is what makes All Good Stories so much fun. I hope Linda Hill plans to publish more of her work since it is so rewarding to read. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a lighthearted yet fascinating story that does not take forever to read.
I ran across this little gem quite by accident. Someone on my Goodreads list had rated highly a short story, and I took a closer look. Discovering it was Free, I gave it a chance and found it like a rice cake it “looked” much better than it turned out to be once I took a bite. Fortunately, it was only a bite — I think around 30 pages — so I hadn’t wasted a lot of time on it, nor will I be reviewing it. So much for that. In looking up the author before deciding to read that story, however, I ran across this author. Because the premise of her novelette sounded amusing, and I’m not averse to having something lighter to read between other books, or more emotionally draining literary projects of my own I’m working on, I gave this one a go and found it — Wonderful!
This novelette is funny, breezy, and the narrative flows naturally, like rain rolling off a slanted roof. It shows great promise for any future efforts by Linda G. Hill, the second Canadian author I’ve come across recently. The story is darn near a joy to read, thanks in large part to a refreshing vibe imbued in this quirky little romance which nearly defies description.
There is a bookstore — always a plus — where a young aspiring novelist named Jupiter and her best friend Xavier work, and hang out together. Their interaction is endearing and fun, and it’s obvious to the reader that no two people every belonged together more than these two. They’ve been pals since elementary school, and Xavier’s closeness to Jupiter, and his refusal to change that, even led to the end of a short and misguided union with someone else.
It is difficult to say much more without risk of revealing some of the surprises awaiting the reader of this delicious little confection. The chapters are extremely short, the narrative lightning quick and full of smiles for the reader, and before you’ve reached the end there’s an internet date turned stalker, a bumbling hitman, and finally, a look by Xavier at the novel Jupiter is working on — or is it Erin?
It’s all lighter than air, extremely sweet and funny. It is not so silly that it becomes frivolous, however, as far too many reads in the light romance genre have become. It’s fresh and original, and it’s a delight to read. It won’t move you deeply or make you flinch at the vagaries of life, because it isn’t supposed to. It will certainly entertain you for a brief period, have you laughing at some points, and leave you with a nice feeling. That’s pretty near perfection for a piece like this, especially one of this brevity. A talented writer with a bright future, and someone whose second release I’ll pick up simply on the strength of how good this one was, and what a pleasure it was to read. Great stuff!
