        OK, to be honest with you, I hate this author, but this story is just really well written.  I still think the author is trying to foist some wierd feminist agenda into her writings and given her previous tendentious stories I think I am completely right on this, but you got to admit that this is a talented author. (9/10)

        I'm not sure how I missed Ashley Zacharias in the past, but I've been reading through the extensive catalog already published, and now there's a new one! Other than a name mixup (Rory is Mario in the first paragraph), this is a fantastic story. I love the internal musings, rationalizations, and so forth. There are always layers to be found in Ashley's stories. This author has a recognizable voice, and I hope for many more to come! (9/10)
