Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: Well, it looks like the date was a success. And the narrator definitely got in better touch with her feelings.
Con: The whole thing is super creepy. Especially when I’m sure there won’t be a second date.

I don't know...I think the narrator might be able to survive...now that she knows her date likes it when someone doesn't hold themselves back! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, praying mantises are notorious for refusing to respect boundaries. :-)
