Marvel's Jessica Jones: Playing with Fire by Zoë Quinn, Lauren Beukes, Sam Beckbessinger, Elsa Sjunneson, Fryda Wolff, Vita Ayala
5.0
I wouldn’t call Jessica Jones an easy character to write. After all she’s been through, it’s fair to say she’s pretty complex, but getting inside her head with the Serial Box team for this jaunt was an utter pleasure start to finish.
From the beginning, it’s clear they understand her. It’s the little things mostly. Her hatred of purple for one, which was weaved in so subtly and organically I gasped at the genius of it (see: glitter). And it made perfect sense.
How she never really gets off work, and the way she analyses people, from her therapist to Sam, to Jamie and Diane (or should I say Selene?).
Her sarcasm was on point (“I got frisky with an alligator and forgot the safe word”), but so were her vulnerable moments (“if Jessica allowed herself to have a heart, it might be broken right about now”
