Interesting take on a two person narrative. Half of the story is told by polished Dorothy (in normal paragraph style). The rest is by Joey, a guy that grew up in an extremely abusive home, his parts are choppy, uneven, and poetic in their simplicity.

It's a love story and a decent read. You can read the full review on the blog, link in my bio.
