Jag tyckte mycket om den, sögs verkligen in i texten. Kan en destruktiv relation vara bättre än ensamhet?

En kvinna lever i ett förhållande som inte verkar särskilt bra, men efter en utflykt kommer hon till "insikt" om att hon hellre stannar än lever ensam.
Jag fastnade inte riktigt för den här novellen, först förstod jag inte riktigt vart författaren ville komma. Men jag förstår hennes idé med den här berättelsen tror jag, hur enkelt det är att stanna i ett förhållande för att man inte vet vad man kan förvänta sig av livet annars och rädslan för att bli ensam.

Jag fattade nog inte riktigt den här berättelsen. Den kändes slätstruken och skum. Jag gillade den inte alls.

Another great short story in the brilliant Novellix (publisher) series.
