A sharp, haunting story about identity, connection, and trust built and broken, Townie is a spellbinding listen by the critically acclaimed author of If You See Me, Don’t Say Hi.

Townie is a brief yet dramatic glimpse at a blossoming friendship between two young women in a small college town - Amal, a transplant from LA, and Bridgette, a local 20-something who feels lost in her own life and becomes enamored with her new friend’s confidence. At first, the new relationship is intoxicating, and the two women spend every spare minute getting drunk on cheap liquor, party-hopping, and binging reality TV. But soon, a secret is revealed that shifts the dynamic, and Bridgette makes a choice she can never take back.

Please note: This audio contains strong language and descriptions of violence that some listeners may find upsetting. Discretion is advised.

I Feel Sick. The Content Warnings are NOT Sufficient

I SERIOUSLY ADVISE TRANS FOLX NOT TO READ/ LISTEN TO THIS. I REALLY WISH I HADN'T.

Neel Patel certainly has a way with words

***

I literally spent hours writing a full review of this, really getting into why this isn't Patel's story to tell, the ignorance and exploitation on display, and the very real violence we face, but somehow that has been lost. I'm genuinely inconsolable right now, having put far more thought and care into my review than Patel did to the serious issues he used as props in his story.

I don't think the story is malicious, buy it is ignorant, exploitative, and fetishising the trauma cis and trans women experience for drama and reveals in this story.

I am so disappointed and genuinely gutted to have wasted all this time.
