A Strange Loop is complex, teasing, thrilling. --Vinson Cunningham, New Yorker

Dead serious about moving on from her past, from roller derby, and the traumatic injury that was a crushing blow to not just her body but her mind.
Running away from her problems wasn't the fix she had hoped for.
Five years later, she returns to the town that left her with permanent scars. Healing her physical wounds was the bare minimum. She'll finally have to face herself, and rediscover who she's always been beneath the lies she's worn like shredded fishnets over bruised knees.
Pretty crossovers, and strong thighs won't be enough to champion through her problems. Especially when they challenge who she may be at her very core.

I never thought I'd find love. I spent all of high school watching others pair up, my little gay heart slowly withering in despair... until the fateful summer night that I met Tim. His meaty muscles and smoldering silver eyes already haunt my dreams. And I know for a fact that he's lonely like me. I've been taking care of Tim ever since he got into an accident that was technically my fault, but the healing he needs goes so much deeper than that. I need him too. With any luck, I'll end senior year with the man of my dreams at my side. Assuming, of course, that he's not just another curious straight guy.

So she dips her toe into online dating, but finds that doing so in your 50s is a minefield.

However Charlie is bored and looking for new challenges, with ambitions of a change in lifestyle, but can she escape her hedonistic past and properly settle down with the woman that she loves?
