@jessicastrung opened Beat the Reaper, by Josh Bazell
You know that feeling where you're not sure whether you're being hustled or in the presence of an actual human being? Archer loves that feeling. That feeling of uncertainty and doubt, almost dangerous but o---oh so alluring. In this case, it’s the astonishing amount of similarities the two share. One of them might as well be lying! But for what? There’s nothing to gain. They’re both from California, true. They both appreciate plants, check. They both moved to Korea to pursue careers... not so true. Archer claims this just to save face. Okay, now they’re discussing how she studied in New York. “Oh! My! God!” Archer’s mouth pops open and he’s slapping a palm to his chest. Bogus bewilderment. “Me too!” Now his mouth is writing checks his ass can’t cash. What’s new? He peers down at her vogue magazine. “Let me guess,” he gleams with an artificial sort of light. “You studied fashion?” 
What chick doesn’t!
