Twenty-five-year-old Jack
is under pressure by his newly married friend and his mother to find a mate,
get married, and have children, leading him to go on a string of bad dates in
the amusing short story, The Long Road to Love by Steve Miller and Lizzy
Stevens. Having close relationships with his mother and his childhood friend
Jade, Jack is content with his life. However, his happily married friend Denny
is determined to see Jack in a romantic relationship and therefore keeps
setting him up on blind dates. Each date is worse than the one before, and
periodically Jack needs Jade to come and rescue him. In one such debacle, his
date relates to them as a married couple moments after meeting. Jade answers
his SOS text, delivering Jack from yet another disastrous date. How many more
dating fiascoes must Jack endure before Denny lets him off the hook or he finds
an acceptable companion? In the meantime, will Jade always be there to support
him?
Centered around a single man's dating woes, the entertaining short story, The
Long Road to Love by Steve Miller and Lizzy Stevens, is an enjoyable depiction
of a man's journey from friendship to love. Containing a clean and witty plot
with relatable characters, it is a humorous analogy with just a hint of romance
that hits the spot. Jack, Jade, and his mother's characters are engaging and
droll, and I thoroughly enjoyed their relationships, perceptions, and sense of
humor. Realistically capturing the pressures and hazards that go hand in hand
in the search for a compatible mate, it is an amusing story that will delight
those who appreciate the ups and downs of the dating world.
