My Thoughts…
*Shiver… This short story gave me chills while reading it! I really didn’t know what to expect when I received my ARC but from the first sentence, I was gripped. The skill a writer needs to be able to do that with a short story never fails to impress me. Sara Secora brilliantly paints a very real and very illuminating picture of a debilitating mental disorder in just a few strokes.
With her masterful story-telling, I was able to get an authentic glimpse of what it must be like to experience agoraphobia and it was terrifying. The writing was excellent, succinct and vivid and I found myself on the last page in what felt like a blink… frantically scrolling for more. I very much enjoyed this story and I have already started to hunt down more works from Sara.
