Five Fortunes by Barbara VenkataramanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
When five fourteen-year-old girls get their fortunes from an arcade machine just for kicks, it turns their world upside-down and their close-knit group of friends starts to fall apart. Misunderstandings abound as allegiances shift and outsiders start to come between them. The fortunes seem to be self-fulfilling prophecies - whether the girls believe in them or not.
This short story is an interesting tale about friends and their daily struggles to cope with the world around them. I think that this would’ve been a great full length story, but it needed to be fleshed out more. Thank you to the author for the opportunity to read this story. This review is my unbiased opinion.
