Faulty – Nicole Parker

4 stars

I think I have a new fear unlocked. I’ve never trusted Furbys (or Flurbos, in this case), and now I’m glad I haven’t. Not when they have the capacity to turn into hulking 7-foot tall sex fiends 😂

Kyle’s one-liners in this story had me choking and crying. They came from out of nowhere and were so perfectly timed; I couldn’t do it, I completely lost it! He’s such a fun character, and I’m so glad that he’s the central character while not being the central character.

And Chloe got herself a man in Garrett who also isn’t turned off by a giant furry monster! I wonder what else he’s packing in that toy store of his 👀

Me and Flurbo, though….I think I’ll leave him and his Day-Glo push pop flavoured fun juice to Chloe. Her ability to roll with the punches and accept that her Flurbo gets giant and wants to do the horizontal tango with her astounds me. Someone would’ve been calling a bus for my corpse because I’d have had a heart attack the first night I woke up to see those empty plastic eyes staring at me from a giant Flurbo.

If you’ll excuse me, I’m off to suspiciously eyeball anything furry I have in my house that has battery packs….
