Great short story

This is a great short story, in a collection of intertwined short stories.

I will look for more title by this author.

Short, but good!

The story keeps getting better and I really like how the author keeps changing the way the story is told in each chapter.

He said, she said.

Really enjoying the plot and the universe of this series so far, my one big reservation, as a listener, is the authors writing style.
His insistence upon continually using the phrase "he/she said" in close proximity is extremely annoying. There are literally hundreds of other words that could replace the word "said" in a sentence, there are also hundreds of phrases that could replace "he/she said" many of which could denote feeling, tone and intent, to rely upon this one phrase is both lazy and incredibly, annoyingly, repetitive.
