Review - Sorry not Sorry


This is a review of a story written by one of my classmates based on the song “Sorry not sorry” by Bryson Tiller. She also runs her own blog here about memes, and it’s great.

Sorry not Sorry is a short story about the scariness and nuisance of a clingy ex. It tells of a man who must take extra precautions doing anything, even simply returning home, to make sure that his ex girlfriend isn't watching from a short distance away. From constantly looking out the window, to making sure he isn't bombarded with texts from her, you can tell that this girl has established a precedent for stalking.
Nothing much happens in the present setting of the story, except for the main character checking around to see if his ex girlfriend is watching him, but we get some insight into their past relationship through a flashback. Things went well at first between them, but started to go south when the girlfriends started to show her true colors of clinginess. Events lead them to break up, but leaves his ex to adamantly persist on watching him, even though he obviously doesn’t like it.
