Welcome to Litsy!

A very uncomfortable but valuable read. It causes visceral disgust—a magical realism setting where unwanted touches cause insects to emerge from your body. Double yuck.

Basically, through the fantastical lens, the story analyzes how girls are socialized to swallow their discomfort, and what problems this may cause. I don't think I could stand reading more of this—again, so visceral—but thankfully it's very short, so a pick.

3.5/5

This is a really tough read, but beautifully done. TW for sexual assault and creepy crawly bugs.
