Patricia Wants to Cuddle by Samantha Allen
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
2.0
Half reality tv comedy, half disassociated gore.
All of the 5 POV characters, including the main character, were soulless in an almost sociopathic way. Interactions between the characters lacked substance. The pacing was weird and the jump from the reality tv and “horror” sections did not mesh well. I also didn’t seem to understand the “messaging” the author was trying to convey. Almost seeming the perpetuate an “us vs them” that I feel is unhealthy and does not help society working towards undoing alienation of different people.
