Enjoyed reading this I liked how you found certain things out in bits through each character’s POV like the bit where <the boy kid (I can’t remember his name) bought a load of kids clothes and underwear because his girlfriend is pregnant but patty found them and burnt them bc she thought that they were ‘trophies’ of the kids he’d been noncing)
<found the ending a bit shite bc Patty had been killed by the angel of debt who’d only been mentioned a few times before. I was satisfied that everything had been resolved/explained but it felt a bit underwhelming in the letter she wrote or whatever>
