• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

is the writing a little simplistic and trite? yes. but i get what July was going for and i relate to this character. July perfectly captured what a catastrophizing thought spiral feels like, i almost wanted to read this short story through the corner of my eye.
