![]() ![]() much of the visceral nastiness seems to be there for shock value. there's no character development, and very little emotional resonance. ![]() i also enjoy the themes of loneliness and misguided devotion.īut the ending is abrupt, and the book doesn't feel as meaningful as i'd hoped. i was extremely intrigued, and interested to watch their relationship quickly evolve from respectful friendship to demanding sugar mommy situation. ![]() I love the premise: a short novella in epistolary format, chronicling the odd relationship between two women over emails and IMs in the year 2000. The book's acknowledgements describe it as a "bizarre fantasy of manipulation and depravity" and a "macabre tale of online lust and perversion" and a "nasty little nugget of terror." but i mostly just thought it was gross. ![]()
