Jen beagin you’re brilliant !!! Another (GAY) banger! (Pun not intended). So good. So funny so clever so lush so frequently disturbing.

Kinda happy ending though??

I will enjoy rereading this soon too. Geez. I just loved it. And I love mini-donks too. Hmm..
Just read some other reviews. We really are all different huh? Cool

"She recalled her favorite part about being single, about being alive, the only thing for which she'd experienced pure and complete gratitude as well as the existence of God and heaven, her greatest, most unfiltered joy: sleeping alone, waking up alone, not speaking before noon"
