    Epilogue

    While Noah and Jordan may Ben leaving, ya'll don't be a stranger. Come back soon. Looking forward to reading more of your work. Thank you for several very enjoyable weeks. Y'heah????

    Epilogue

    Great ending. Don’t be a stranger!
  7. Wonderful chapter. Smart, well written, good dialogue. FWIW, I think having Noah's mother come around would be the easy way out. Think how interesting a story line would be if they had to navigate family relationships and interactions with mom staying true to her convictions. Not easy but certainly rich.

    Hello, Goodbye

    One of the best chapters I have read anywhere. You captured the moments beautifully. Also, thank you for conveying the beauty of the dialect. I loved it.
  9. I guess when you wrote that Dad was not going to stick around you meant it! Great cliff hanger, not just as regards dad but as regards James, too.
  10. Powerful, nuanced, authentic
  11. I just read through all the chapters this weekend. Powerful, painful story. Content is excellent but it does need a bit better proofreading. Not enough to keep me from eagerly anticipating the upcoming chapters. Good work.
  12. If not for authors like you, I would be too. LOL
  13. I am half-way through chapter 2 and am looking forward to catching up. This story, so far (and I have no worries about future chapters), only goes to further establish your credentials as a consummate storyteller and wordsmith. Thank you for your efforts.
  14. This was a great read. Many thanks.
  15. Good start. Interested in seeing where you take this.

    Chapter Eight

    No apologies needed for combining the two chapters. It worked out well and I appreciate the continuity that you were able to maintain. Interesting how the story is developing I look forward to reading more as you post.

    Chapter 1

    I came across this today and read straight through. You have a great writing style, a good ear for dialogue, and the story itself tops. I have no doubt that you have a "day job" but, as I say to others authors, if at all possible please watch the gaps in posting -- so many otherwise good stories are ruined by lack of continuity. And, this one is too good to let that happen.
  18. An utter delight -- well paced, clever, fun -- keep writing, I want to read more of your work.
  19. Hot and fun.

    Chapter XIX

    Dahyum! A good story just took off for the stratosphere! Very very cool.

    Chapter 8

    Not sure how to put this more delicately but the only way I can describe this story is that each chapter feels like a new level of edging -- each more intense than the last, leaving me wanting a resolution as much as wanting to increase the tension just a bit more. Great story, great writing.
  25. The font change has helped — i am enjoying this and look forward to seeing how these lives intersect
