 We Came to Welcome You by Vincent Tirado

  •   An HOA horror about poc lesbian couple (Dominican and Korean) moving into a gated community  
  •  Could have been could but our mc is SO negative that it detracts from the story. Like I get racism and phobias can get to you but this btch needs help. She hates all her therapist, her wife, the community, her coworkers, etc. Girl what DO you like? 

  • I feel like none of the plot made sense and had a ton of red herrings. The message was pretty harmful imo. Spoiler for ending and racism (imo) ||
    it end with our mc just Realising that she really does love her wife, get everyone drunk, becomes HOA president, and mind controls all of them
    ... not joking  

  • TW: Alcoholism, racism to MC and wife, homophobia, whitewashing... all the things that go with HOA suburbia
