Review of Chiemeziem Everest Udochukwu, “Shedding the Weight,” Flash Fiction Online 147 (December 2025): 15-17 — Purchase here. Reviewed by Sara L. Uckelman.
This was a nice little love story, but one of the reasons why I’ve always struggled with more literary, less speculative, fiction is that I often read literary fiction and think “what was the point?” I love spec fic because it explores, it pushes boundaries, it asks questions, and it allows me to learn. This just allowed me to be distracted, for a few minutes.
