it made no difference. there's no escaping it. some part of me will always be finding her here. some part of her will always be here, waiting to be found.
WHEW ok!!!! i thought this was very successfully depressing & searing & awful, though not as shining-shimmering unique as Sadie, which might’ve been a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me (read the audio on a walk during a midsummer thunderstorm & finished by evening candlelight. you just can’t beat Sadie by thunderstorm & candlelight).
regardless this did work on me -- especially georgia, who i found deeply realistic, unfortunately :) thought the pacing was a little quick near the end, but c'est la vie. rooting for my girlies here and everywhere!
