My Dilemma - Internal Conflict vs. Great Reviews

I'm still a bit internally conflicted about my newest short story (FotoGone: A Very Bad App)- it's a character who's so different from me that writing a few parts actually bothered me on a visceral level.

I opted to publish anyways, and I'm thrilled to hear back from a few reviewers that they enjoyed the book - but now they think I'm twisted.
Oh well, I think I will use the reviews as therapy...much cheaper than a psychiatrist!

If you're interested, here are the reviews from two fantastic ebook lovers:

from KindleObsessed.com:
...
The thing I admired the most about this little jaunt into crazy-ville was Finnerty’s ability to (not only) create a believable story (including a lesson in quantum physics) in 40 pages but to manipulate his lead character so horrifically/brilliantly/convincingly in the same amount of space.

and from Wade-into Books
A fantastic writer, a disturbing story and a perfectly outstanding book. I recommend it with a shiver and the knowledge I will never get it out of my head.
