Good, but not as good as her novels
Cute riff on aging. Shows her style but very light compared to her novels. The shorter form does not force that. Many short stories and novellas are as complex and significant as any novel but in this case Restrepo did not rise to that level. It made me think of an extended sketch or class exercise.
