it was okay but to be honest, I think this would be way better as a longer story. I like the idea of communicating through emails or chat logs, however was really confused when it ended. I think it really needed to have more because what I was reading was really good. 


Fyi, I read this book in an hour 😭

this collection unsettled me in a way that's stuck with me as i eat apples, as i pick the florets of vegetables from my teeth, and as i slip into the bath. queer not as in romantic, but queer as in obsessed with the self and devoted to the other, queer from the inside out. truly excellent dip into what LaRocca can accomplish in short order.

Sometimes when you have ideas, it's okay to leave them in your drafts.
