My wife ReallyNotTina and I went through Hillside a few weeks ago. She really likes it! But when I introduced it, I described Emma thusly: “Officially she’s 18 and in college. Wink-wink, 18. Nudge-nudge, college.”
Then we played it for a bit and she said, “Oh now I know what you meant. She’s 13 and in high school, but to dodge all the complaints about pedophilia she’s ‘18’ and in ‘college.’” Yeah, you got it babe. She’s a child. With spectacular boobs. But a child.
“But dude, you have a relationship path saved for her.” Because I wanna see how it unfolds. But yeah, the childish behavior gives me a raging hard-off. Suzi’s too angry, Charlotte needs tons of therapy, Kaylah just wants to get railed, and Lucy’s got the most potential but her really low self-esteem is off-putting. Agent Fox… well, that’s going nowhere, and she’ll probably get whacked first, but her I like.
But again: I read it for the story.
