Marianne by Elizabeth Hammer
It’s 2008 in Anaheim. Flip phones are a thing, Blockbuster Video is still kicking, and the Goths are about to descend upon Disneyland for Bats Day, as is their yearly custom.

Marianne may or may not be attending. Blunt to the point of rudeness, unavoidably awkward, crash-dieting, and alone—she has too much Goth going on inside her own mind to bother about dressing all woebegone in front of the tourists.

It’s fine. She’s fine. Being well-adjusted is overrated, right?

Or it was, until Mr. Exemplary Human Being moves into the house next door. And speaks to her. Repeatedly. Almost like he doesn’t care that she’s a living, breathing low-point.

He seems willing to martyr himself on the pyre that is Marianne’s freakish personality, but there are parts of her life she’d rather not divulge. The black lipstick, self-destructive habits, and her Disneyland Goth friends are going to stay locked in the dark where they belong. If she can just fake it long enough, maybe she can magically transform into less of a garbage person.

That’s how it works, right?
