Goodreads Summary:
From the bestselling author of MILKRUN and ME VS ME comes a story of friendship, flip-flops…and fortune telling.
Shaun’s new roommate, Dee, claims to be a little bit psychic (“Can you be a little bit psychic? Is that like being a little bit pregnant?”) Dee insists that Shaun’s ex-boyfriend Brahm is about to meet and fall in love with someone new. A redhead. At Jeremiah’s. Shaun doesn’t believe in psychics, and even if she did, she’s over Brahm. Definitely over him. But maybe she should head over to Jeremiah’s just in case…
Sarah Mlynowski is a household name when it comes to Chick Lit here in the US, not only in adult Chick Lit but YA as well. Quite some time ago I discovered a little gem of hers in the form of her short story Know It All. Know It All by Sarah Mlynowski was previously only available in the collection of books titled Girls Night In, but now available for the Kindle (which really can be viewed on anything from a phone to a computer screen), it’s well worth the dollar you’ll spend to read it.
Shaun and her boyfriend have recently split after a two year relationship. In addition to that she’s also lost her best friend to a move out of state and her replacement roommate leaves much to be desired, not to mention the fact that she may be crazy. When Dee, her new roommate, suddenly starts dreaming about Shaun’s ex-boyfriend Brahm, Shaun can’t help but think she’s lost her mind…or has she? Going on a whim she discovers Brahm in the very places Dee mentions and before long Shaun is wondering if she’s really ready to let him go.
Know It All by Sarah Mlynowski was a thoroughly enjoyable short story. My biggest hang up with most short stories is that they aren’t very well developed and you don’t get to know the characters well enough to love the story. This was absolutely not the case with Know It All. I loved each of the characters, even the only occasionally encountered Brahm. With the added benefit of a little magic by Dee you get more than enough to make this an enjoyable story that leaves you eager to read the next Mlynowski story. Every fan of Chick Lit should definitely be picking up a Sarah Mlynowski short story or novel right away!
