Keeping Afloat by Samantha L. Terrell

Sharp observational American poetry for our times…

I really liked this story. Alice is very relatable. Her friends are kind of less likeable - those in Britain - as they're not really very well introduced in any depth. Her strange next-door neighbour is. And, though he's mean to begin with and throug ...more
