Review of "42jorie" by John Philpin, a single story in the collection "Twists and Turns"

Summary: A collection of nine short stories resulting from the "Red Adept Reviews Twists Contest." “42jorie” by John Philpin: A man meets a special woman online. Review: An intriguing tale of a man who's internet flirtations go just a little too far.  On the surface it makes a fun psychological short story.  If you go a little deeper, there a bit of social commentary you can draw out.  The internet is a wonderful tool but definitely has a dark underbelly.  Who are you really  talking to online? "42jorie" has a fun little turn of events at the end.  But as with some of the other stories in the collection, the conclusion goes just a tad too far in explanation department.  Some things are best left to the readers imagination. 3.5/5 stars Reviewed by Alain Gomez Buy this collection on Amazon US
