Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke

"Y’ALL. I loved this book, and I had the opportunity to read LaRocca’s never novella early and if you are a fan of this book, you are absolutely going to want to ****** this up when it releases in June! It’s Called We Can Never Leave This Place and it’s beautiful and gruesome in all the best ways, I’ll post preorder links when they drop if you are interested! Have you read Any LaRocca yet? What are your thoughts? "

"It was very disturbing book but the story felt rushed"

"boring boring boring. i hate to say it but it was sooo boring. i found agnes' anecdotes interesting, but they didn't necessarily have a point other than shock value. i finished this in one sitting. it wasn't too difficult because of the length, but i was gritting my teeth nearly the whole time because i was just so bored.<br/>i think its weird that a man wrote about a lesbian master/slave relationship and decided to make it abusive and obsessive. its weird! its still weird even though hes queer, because he's not lesbian! not to mention agnes' obsessive desire to carry a child. it just feels..... it doesnt feel right. not in a purposeful way, moreso in a way that really makes me not like eric larocca.<br/>unfortunate purchase. i wanted to give this story a separate review from the other two included in the short story collection i bought, just because it was the one i bought it for. im quite disappointed and currently feel like im owed 20 bucks"

"It had so much more potential"

"I have extremely mixed feelings about this one. The first story was like seeing inside the minds of two very mentally ill individuals and the last story was just a wtf moment. The writing wasn't bad but just ridiculously unbelievable. 3 stars "

"Well this was difficult for me to read...my mind had to much to imagine and process...it was very intriguing plots and perspectives...but sensitive people may have hard time reading this book..."

"This was one of those books that had slowly wormed it's way into my head by the repetition of hearing about it. I knew I was going to read it, I just didn't know at what time. The plotline just sounded so fun, two people and their online relationship that they form that eventually becomes toxic leading to both of them unraveling. I mean that sounds like a fun read if nothing else. For me it was a fun read, it was a very short read and so it wasn't a gradual disintegration of the relationship into darker shades, something like "The Shining" where the madness is very gradual, it was "WOAH WE WENT THERE??" The emails went from pretty casual to VERY graphic in the blink of an eye. The author himself describes this little novella as a "nasty little nugget of terror" and I liked that description immensely. Some of the scenes towards the end where very graphic and pretty disgusting. They didn't just make each other worse, one of them literally drove the other bat **** crazy because of her wild fantasy's of manipulation and depravity. I think this book is a good warning for online relationship and pushing the boundaries of others too far. It does so in a very over the top way, but the message is still there. My favorite part of the novella was the writing style the whole book is written as a series of emails and instant messages and I think it worked out very well. Lived up to expectations."

"Super short read, super intense story. This was definitely an interesting read!"

"I don’t even have words, but I kept thinking these females need mental help."

"I think I set my expectations too high on this one. Came across as pretentious and unrealistic."
