joking apart, really enjoyed your writing - lyrical, human, intriguing, maybe one too many little side eye witticisms in there for me ... they take away some of the seriousness and depth that this has - but only maybe - its only chapter one. I tell myself... yes - really good work. characters you can instantly like and believe in.
Aw shucks, thank you, EJ! it’s always the most gutting thing when the working class misunderstands a Springsteen working class anthem, I wish this were purely fiction in that regard :/
one star - not even a mention of mars....

That was fantastic. Your use of language is gorgeous. Also, as a person who lives in Georgia, I appreciate the setting.
thank you so much, I’m so glad you’re enjoying! I’ve only been to Georgia a couple of times but I really was enamored, I hope I’m doing it justice!
Let me know if you have any Georgia specific questions I can help with!
Holy shit, how did I not realize until now that there was a whole James Worth novel on substack?
Great read so far. Marshall reminds me intensely of someone very dear to me
Very good read so far.
Thank you so much, makes me so happy to hear! Hope you enjoy the rest(:
