Review: 2019.668 (A Word for Authors)
Pro: The future self who seems increasingly flakey and suspicious-acting is a nice angle. Not sure I’ve seen that before. Of course since we see the inner monologue of future-Nat, we’re aware something isn’t on the up-and-up, but we’re not sure quite what.
Con: So what happened? What was Future-Nat trying to accomplish? She had asked about Julie earlier, so it’s not entirely a surprise that Julie rescues her, but did Future-Nat set that up? Or was she trying to stop it from happening? I’m really not sure what happened here. Anyone else?
