    Loz

    Well that was all sorts of emotion! Hard to read so must have been bloody difficult to write! Amqzing stuff. Thanks.

    Chapter 32

    Drew's mum has done more to restore those children than just about anythinģ any parent or carer figure has ever down for them. Great story. Enjoying Drew's character development along the way... Nb small typo; the next door neighbour changes sex about half way down the page "Mr Pugh smiled..."

    Epilogue

    Well, I have almost got over that they live in Toronto...😘 Great story with wonderfully curious ending. Glad Jenn ended up with Aiden; seemed a natural fit. Famillies; surviving them is one of the true wonders of the human condition. Looking forward to whatever you write next. Many thanks for sharing your talent.

    Chapter Thirty-Six

    I've lived in Montreal, Winnipeg, Victoria bc, and Ottawa. All were better than tronna. I did also lived in Calgary....yes, tronna is better than Calgary, but thats not saying much!

    Chapter Thirty-Six

    Excellent chapter moving towards the epilogue. As far as loose ends; 1. Reconciliation by his mother would seem contrived...that will happen, but it will take years. 2. Toronto based? Please anywhere else! 3. It would be nice if some(emphasis on some, 1 or 2 perhaps ) of the homophobes in the team came out and admitted their homophobia was a consequence their own internalized battles with same sex attraction 4. It would be nice if Jenn found a friend. She has been one of the most sane and down to earth characters this entire story! There that's my tuppence worth! Great read. Thanks.

    GMA VIII

    Very realistic! I'd say someone has spent time watching runs and re runs of Ellen shows! Great chapter, thanks!

    Chapter Thirty-Two

    Bloody well written chapter. Every emotion hit exactly the right note. I had a very anglo-saxon relationship with my father. When he died I too wondered about the unanswered questions , but quickly realised that if they hadnt been answered in the first 50 ish years of my life, there was no reason to suspect they were ever going to be answered.

    Chapter Thirty-Two

    Welcome to the mad house that is gay authors! Lots to read, digest and comment about.

    Chapter 17

    Great couple of letters. They really seem to be understanding each other.

    GMA VII

    Two points; wasting bloody good champagne on mimosas is a true crime! A bar that doesn't take cards? In 2018? Even in my party years a couple of decades ago, if a bar didn't take cards for individual drinks, they'd all put your card behind the bar and run a sort of tab!😁 Other than that, great read. I love the constant battle between wanting to do and see "culture" and other less noble sightseeing! Thanks!

    Chapter Thirty-One

    I did wonder what was going to bring the Brody relationship screaming to a hault! Noah and Jordan can now re connect during the interegnum caused by his fathers death. Well done, great read. Thanks

    Chapter Thirty

    As a parent of two boys, I find the reaction of Noahs parents completely unfathomable. Now I realise I am reading a novel, but I also it does reflect what happens in the real world, it still doesn't help me understand why a parent could react like that to their own child. I can imagine feeling disappointed, fearful, annoyed, frustrated at things my child did but ultimately there is a stronger bond that makes you bite your lip and move on, helping, consoling, celebrating, comforting or protecting them as required. Great writing. Hopefully people like Noahs parents will soon only be found in fiction.

    Chapter Twenty-Eight

    1. Keep long chapters! 2. Bloody Noah; spineless idiot. You really have created a character that incites all sorts of emotions; good, bad, legal and less legal. 3. If Sebastian was found dead in aan alley, I'd need a cast iron alibi... 4. The Aiden and Jenns of this world keep it spinning on its axis. Great read, thanks.

    Chapter Twenty-Six

    One day Noah will realise that coming out to parents, friends and colleagues is a whole lot less stress than living like this....but until then, his life will remain very messy and very stressful. Poor bugger

    Chapter Twenty-Five

    Well that certainly brought heaven back to earth! Perhaps a time for brutal honesty with dearest mother. Of course it won't be, he'll prevaricate, procrastinate and generally piss everyone off! The weekend in the country sounded ideal!

    Memories

    The hesitancy is very cute. Utterly irrational, as they both will realise once they do actually get together, but cute nevertheless!

    Daniel

    Danny has had the most major cultural shift. Things now are 180 degrees better than they have ever been, so the first test, when things go wrong, as they will at some point in some way, will be a true test of his new self and his coping abilities. Sure to be an interesting read! Thanks

    Chapter Twenty-Two

    Holy shit, bugger, be damned....the small hole he was covering has just been exposed.... the fun really starts now!

    Chapter 24

    Yes, it was their 18th! Got my majority's confused!

    Chapter 24

    Henley's timing re deciding to be a father could not have been more inopportune. And frankly he's made the first mistake; deciding unilaterally what is good for 21 year olds.... no sign of smooth sailing any time soon....
  21. Interesting chapter. The "money solves all issues" is a little worrisome, but I'd hazard a guess with three children to raise they'll get find that even money has its limits! Good writing. Thanks

    Scout’s Honor

    So, problem solved? Or just multiplied in a completely different direction?
  23. Yeah..right! Fun story...id suggest is going in one direction, and one only!

    Useless Things

    Great to read you again! As having just celebrated a "significant" birthday, and looking after aged parents, this rings all too true. Love your writing. Please continue! Thanks.
  25. Nice filling out the picture and people stranded. With this sense of impending something just hovering in the background. Great read. Thanks
