“These were the things she liked about him.”

Recounting all of the things that one nameless character loved about another, Yugto brings the reader into the aftermath of a relationship of unrequited love where they are left to wonder what happened. His hands, his advice, his laugh, his smile, his misgivings and his face are all aspects of the character that have made the list so far, each chapter giving the reader a small glimpse into the things that she loves and why she loves them.

Though there are only six drabble length chapters so far, with the total word count coming out at 695, each chapter is packed with so much emotion that it’s hard to believe the story is so short. The chapters are organized in a non-chronological order, which gives the reader information on the character without being constricted by a strict storyline. balani utilizes beautiful descriptions to make the reader feel like they know this person that is being described and the chapters have an undertone of heartbreak that is laced throughout the words, turning a story that is seemingly sweet into something that almost anyone can relate to in one way or another.

If you’re looking for something short and emotional to read, give Yugto a try!
