It's not my favorite kind of story either. It took me about 4 years to get the emotional courage to read any of Tanks work, and I still don't prefer it.
That said, I do think that the beginning of the story is lovely! The scene in the townhouse is so warm and cozy. I love the phrase about a hug in a bowl, haha. That's *real* comfort food!
