"is nursing her pain, dressing all in black, working as a theater critic, and dabbling in casual sex. Awesome, right?"

Finally, a character that Alison can relate to. (I kid, I kid!)

My novels tidily slide past this problem with "Then they sexed. Put down the book, close your eyes, and think for a moment or two about the best you've ever been sexed. It was exactly like that."

I'm pretty sure that's how I won the Newbery Medal in 1994.

The fact that she's a theater critic actually feels really weird and dated and is clearly directly related to the fact that Francine Pascal is a 72-year-old Tony voter.

What about the weird, weird creepy longing Lizzie and Jess have for each other? I thought that was what you meant by "twincest". Tell me that is what you meant by "twincest" please.

Because that is what I think you meant*.

*Francine Pascal type repetitive prose.

Oh yeah, totally. How they long to be in each others arms?

My review was originally like four times this long. There's so much to say!

@Commenty Colin. If nobody else will say it, I will. Commentaire brillant et hilarant de la semaine.
