Her storytelling

Authentic. Had me feeling and visually experiencing as if a bystander within the story. I thoroughly enjoy listening to Mindy. Happy that she's her own narrator.

Enjoyable

Fun short story was ready to hear more. Could truly feel her discomfort being pregnant

Short and sweet

This story seems like some thing that could happen to anyone on a random evening when they let their guard down. In a way, it reflects how detached Mindy and BJ were from the realities of living in a major city with people who would want to do harm. I’m glad it ended well for them but also as a native New Yorker I was not surprised that they would have gotten strolled up on. I enjoyed listening to this while taking a walk I recommend it.

Woah

A little bit wild and a lot but funny! Mindy’s storytelling is totally top notch!
