Woman's World tropes: a farmer's market/yard sale, coffee dateObservations: I swear this story felt like it was more than 800 words. I thought it was well done.
I have to admit I rarely go to farmer's markets, but I think they're terrific, not only to discover new food items and fresh produce, but as settings for Woman's World stories. There's that nostaligia/Americana vibe they have that appeals to both the readers and the editors.
I don't know why, but I felt the caramel macchiato references were a little forced. It may be because I'm a barista and caramel macchiatos are layered drinks, so there is a layer of sweetened milk on the bottom, then the espresso, then foam or ice, then caramel sauce. So, there is no one color.
However, I loved the idea of her selling jam and him selling bread and the random customer making the comment about bread and jam being the perfect pair. I loved the idea they had of giving out samples of both their wares. I really loved the old man tipping his hat to them in the parking lot. I really loved that little addition.
On a side note, last week, I was talking about a mid-point black moment. This week's story had no black moment at all, which is fine. I just thought I"d point that out.

I loved this story. Love the comradery better the hero and the heroine.
Didn't care that there was no black moment. Just love the cute premise and they way it was handled.
Better should be between. Not sure why that happened, but didn't see it until I posted. My bad.
I also enjoyed this story. The Farmer's Market theme definitely seems to fit the WW stories.
Loved this feel-good story. Very cute.
