You know, I wasn't quite sure what to do with this one: I like it very, very much, but it turns out that I don't think, "oh, hey, they're women," is particularly whimsical...it just is.
I adore Bob's stuttery horror (swearing in front of small children and neighbors! egad!) at the beginning, and Fraser's exasperated mental voice (if her best fantasy material was floating around in tangerine clouds with Laura Secord, she would have to look into lucid dreaming), and the loneliness of sometimes she forgets the distinction between friendship and sexual attraction, and her anger at being left alone (again, always), and RayK's fumbling around, not-quite-fitting into two lives at once, and Ray's beautiful neck and pterodactyl (!) voice, and...oh dear, I really must end this sentence sometime. Hurrah for women? Yes!
