![]() ![]() ![]() While i didn't love the story, or feel it ultimately delivered on its premise, it reads like a good pitch for a YA novel and would probably work better if it were tweaked into a longer and more satisfying piece some sort of contemporary spin on Pump Up the Volume with SF elements.įive years since he left us Earth is really dying, and boogieing is more forbidden than ever to the children, as indeed to everyone else. miller and i love a story full of bowie and iggy pop (hahah i typed iggy poo) and the pixies, but instalove is always boring, lauren doesn't really have any depth-of-character, and woke gender politics aside, as much as it may be theoretically true that gender was just a set of clothes we put on when we went out into the world, biological genitals and teen pregnancy are still real and i don't think it's unevolved for the mother of a teenage girl to exert a little parental responsibility when it comes to the specifics of a slumber party occurring under their own roof with some stranger their daughter just picked up at a thrift store.Īdditionally, gender aside, we are all incredibly vulnerable when we're asleep, so letting some stranger danger into your home is risky, no matter how insta- is your child's love. But I was done letting wishing I was better stop me from being what I was. ![]()
