My Review
This was a fun short story. I hadn’t come across this author before and was looking for something brief to round off the month.
It was clever because it wasn’t quite what I expected. A couple heading to a New Year’s Eve party meet two other couples, one of whom makes them a proposition — one that’s almost too good to refuse. What will Carrie and Andy do?
I can’t say too much without giving away spoilers, so I’ll just say this: the story isn’t what you first think — it’s better.
That’s the magic of short stories. Because of their length, they can be sharp, surprising, and wonderfully clever — and that’s exactly what this one is.

Would you share your New Year’s resolution with a stranger?
When Carrie and Andy attend a high-class New Year’s Eve Party, they’re looking forward to closing out the year in style. But then they meet Martin and Michaela, a couple who haven’t just come out for champagne and fireworks. They have a New Year’s resolution, and it’s very unusual.
After sharing their own resolutions, Carrie and Andy receive a shocking but tempting offer, one that leaves them unsure of how to proceed. But whatever they decide to do, one thing is certain – this will be a New Year’s Eve they will never forget.
