Hey, you! The mom of that twelve-year-old boy who leers like some fifty-year-old drunken uncle. Start teaching him that no means no. Right Fucking Now. You should have been teaching him this already. Teach him that consent is as real as the shoes on his feet and the laces he ties in double-knots. Teach him [...]

Jacqueline Cioffa’s Advance Review of The Lithium Chronicles: Volume One

One would think. And I have [...]
