Report
“This was a short story that was really trying to go for the emotional heart strings & mostly succeeded. While I didn’t really connect much with the residents of the landfill, I did get invested in history of Verdidea & the MCs relationship with her mother & did enjoy the satisfying conclusion. In a short amount of time the author was able to get their readers to feel for the residents (or the plastikeaters as they are referred to in the story) of the landfill and how they were taken advantage of, but it was fairly shallow & I wasn’t as invested in them unfortunately. A good, not great, short story overall.”
