    Fast, frantic, touching, and sexy. overlap's jarring shift in tone is incredibly shocking, grounded, and sublime. The script is begging to be staged!

    The hardest thing about love is when you believe it to be unreciprocated. Proctor weaves together a beautiful modern love story who's second act forces the characters to come to terms with the thoughts they have been keeping from one another. This story is one I love with my whole heart. You should absolutely read it.
