Kimmy
A downloadable book
John and Emily are a perfectly normal couple living in near-future suburban America, with plans to attend a perfectly normal Halloween party with Emily dressed in a perfectly normal android costume. But Emily has an accident, so John steps up to take her place, and that’s where things start to go wrong. Because the hollowed-out android they bought from John’s brother is supposed to be dead, and isn’t supposed to be influencing his actions, and when the time comes to take it off, it’s supposed to let him out...

At multiple points I became very frustrated with this story, but I kept on going because Alyson's character design and world building are extremely compelling.
The final arc was a beautifully handled goodbye to the characters that I'm sure each reader who made it through it came to care for greatly.
My only true gripe with 'Kimmy' is that in the warning it says 'this works contains topics related... sexual assault'. Which is true, but I would have appreciated a more clear warning of the explicit rape scene in chapter thirty.
That said, I thoroughly enjoyed reading 'Kimmy'. Another piece of her work 'Sisters of Dorley Hall' is also an excellent read.
Horrifying & gut wrenching yes, but also a message of hope that things can be changed. Alyson managing to alter my brain chemistry once again.
Firm recommend!
A book I didn't know I needed until I read it. Both horrifying and amazing.
One of the bleakest, most upsetting works I’ve read in a long time. Wallows in the main character’s suffering. Gratuitous use of rape. A dark, long tunnel with precious little light at the end.
Would not recommend.
Vivid. Intense. Heartbreaking. Loved it.
Absolutely loved this book, horrifying and beautiful in all the best ways!
There are horrors within, but there is also joy here.
Incredible book I stayed up way too late because i was so hooked
Hah, yep, me too! :)
