Well written, well narrated

I'll give the author this - it is well written, well paced. I don't mind that it ended sort of on a non-ending base. A short story can be just a snippet; not the full picture. That being said, older woman rejuvenated just from the mere hint of attention of a young handsome man is kind of...eh. And the whole you don't know you're beautiful but I'm going to tell you thing is also, eh. In any case, it's really well narrated. There are a bunch of voices (with different accents) and it's very clear who is talking when plus you do get more of a sense of her character from the reading of it. I'd be interested in reading more from this writer but maybe not from the POV of a middle aged woman since he really just is as far from that as you can get.
