In this 1983 short story - the only short story Morrison ever wrote - we meet Twyla and Roberta, who have known each other since they were eight years old and spent four months together as roommates in St. Bonaventure shelter. Inseparable then, they lose touch as they grow older, only later to find each other again at a diner, a grocery store, and again at a protest. Seemingly at opposite ends of every problem, and at each other's throats each time they meet, the two women still cannot deny the deep bond their shared experience has forged between them.

Powerful Statement on Equity and Class Structure
Revisado: 08-27-24
The narrator's voice was pleasant and suprisingly neutral in accent--which did well in achieving Morrison's whole goal of the original short story. I found this brings up a whole slew of questions about those who don't get out of an oppressive environment--of the non-neurotypical or the permentantly institualized and what is left for them after all the other smoke clears. The question of what the hell happened to Maggie will haunt me for years.

Sadomasochism. Obsession. Death. A whirlpool of darkness churns at the heart of a macabre ballet between two lonely young women in an internet chat room in the early 2000s - a darkness that threatens to forever transform them once they finally succumb to their most horrific desires. What have you done today to deserve your eyes?

This was quite the ride!

I'm never gonna look at apple peelers the same way again--nor the distinctly trusting nature of starting an online relationship--HOLY F*CK was that a drastic and sudden dive into crazy. Anyway--was a riveting enough read--I might even listen to it again some day--if I have the guts for it, ya know.

According to sixteen-year-old Zander Osborne, nowhere is an actual place - and she's just fine there. But her parents insist that she get out of her head - and her home state - and attend Camp Padua, a summer camp for at-risk teens. Zander does not fit in - or so she thinks. She has only one word for her fellow campers: crazy.

An Interesting Look at Life
Revisado: 12-09-16
The characters were very easy to get invested in. I enjoyed the story. It was a highly engrossing listen and the narrator was extremely effective at dragging you into the world. It was an emotional rollercoaster and a enjoyable ride.

Amazing Book
Revisado: 11-26-16
For a book about suicide, you will be pleasently surprised by how hopeful this story is. Roman and Azael are remarkably loveable and realistic characters. It is easy to root for them and feel their pain. One heck of a ride. 100% enjoyable. 10/10 might read again.
