ONE OF THE BEST SLOW BURNS IVE EVER READ IT WAS WORTH IT, IT WAS ALL WORTH IT

i usually dont like works from this author, i always found her stories to be very pedantic explorations of boring psychological tropes punctuated by grossness or some other form of debilitatingly unsavoury shock factor; but there's just something about this one that really does it for me. a subtle sort of allure to the premise, a tinge of sadism i guess? i don't have faith it'll keep that feeling because knowing this author's tastes it will cross some sort of line at some point but for now, i can't wait to see more of this cute zombie's despairing.

i just want these messed up fucking kids to be happy.

you know what this did not need to be a 3p drama, this could very well have just been about the progression of tj and ian's relationship instead. the gap in interpersonal character relationships between the couples is so large i cant help but understand and empathise with baggage-ridden tj over squeaky clean jo.

short and sweet, but really very special.
