“You’ll like dating, everyone eats ass now”. Maggie’s like a more unhinged version of Fleabag going through a divorce 4🍔
NB can someone please make this into a limited series staring Barbie Ferreira?
This is full of zingers! My favourites include:
- I walked passed him into the living room. It was mid century modern like everyone’s else’s.
