    Chapter 1

    Gary L commented on Libby Drew's story chapter in Chapter 1

    Not a downer, Tim, at all. I found this a tough read and it must have hit you much harder. I know with my mother’s later years that reality was a moving thing and now my sister is starting. But there can be moments of, dare I say it, humour. At the end of a seaside promenade my best friend’s father looked up at him and said in his perfect English upper class accent: I’m very sorry, but I have no idea who you are but thank you so much for this delightful walk.” All with a slight twist of irony which was his hallmark. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

    Okay, I’ve had a mega drama with my car days before a 5,000km road trip and I’ve had a to buy a new one in 48 hrs (on credit) so it ain’t fair to see 4 pages of comments, battle royals with a certain “kb” etc., before I get to say….. I LOVE THIS STORY no gifs, nothing clever, just, I love this ❤️

    Chapter 80

    A really, really excellent chapter, one of the best so far since Will’s return from Aussie. A classic piece of Mark Arbour prose. Thank you!

    Possibly for the first time I find myself agreeing 100% with PrivateTim. Was it a case of not just the characters taking themselves for granted but also we readers? But it jarred in a way.

    What is going on in our dear author’s mind….. I fear something terrible is coming along and as I hate rollercoasters - physical or emotional- I’m getting the Valium out for the next chp or two. Be kind, dear author ✍️

    Two great 1930’s authors/poet Christopher Isherwood and W H Auden were lifelong friends who weren’t ever in what we now would call a relationship. They were deep friends who just automatically had sex when their paths crossed as they had done since student days. No way I could have sex with a friend but why is there so much judgement going onin so many comments here. It’s the same with a guy critiquing Will in Gap Year. Many readers seem to be placing their choices and value judgements on those who do not share their lifestyle….. sounds familiar? mrs g, Iike Chris I thought this a great piece of story-telling and thought-provoking. Brava!!!!

    Very enjoyable!

    I think that dr s says it for many of us. Your story-writing skills have always been great but now you are really intensifying the tougher emotions. Goodness knows what you have in store for us…….. 😚

    So, Mrs G is back and tormenting her loyal readers once again. I’m on holiday so I shouldn’t be sad 😞 that said a truly moving tale. As I’ve confessed before, I’m not into stories with babies but mrs G is the big exception. well done!!!

    Chapter 79

    From afar I so:agree with you!

    I can’t believe weather or surfing would be an acceptable reason for university choice for JP, Brad, or any family member. Or Will, himself. Family trust issues are a minor concern once things get sorted. I await with huge interest to see how our author resolves this…… be strong Mark, trust me!,,,, 😛

    Interesting. I’m not sure yet but some nice characters.

    Ah, thanks. But also cousin vs half-sister whom he promised to care for.

    The Best Year

    Gary L commented on Krista's story in Fiction

    I got to this late and am now half way through. The writing and storyline appears seamless, despite the author’s acknowledged struggles mentioned above. Like others I’m keen to see how things work out. But also to put a 5********** review on a really, really lovely tale. Thank you Krista. I, like many others, appreciate your writing skills. Hugs from Spain. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

    Lost in translation?

    Chapter 29

    Gary L commented on Krista's story chapter in Chapter 29

    Picked up this story in summer 2023 and it is a really sweet read. Some great writing and the pacing of the sexual and emotional tension is first class. As Jackson might say we’re he pass through a McD: “I’m lovin it!” great stuff, thank you Krista

    So, can someone explain to this Brit, please, why the weather should be a deciding factor in choosing your university? Ummm. Also, Marie is important but what about his half sister in Boston?

    Chapter 76

    Gary L commented on Mark Arbour's story chapter in Chapter 76

    I have a plan in mind so your son is not completely devoid of a position.” any connection Mark, with the conversation with GIII in an earlier chp for tomorrow’s Privy Council meeting????????

    “Fuck, he was a complete coward.” My reactions: A . um Laura, I am displeased with Matthew but even more with his creator. This CANNOT continue. My stress level rises every chp. Have pity…… B. okay.. I’m calm now. Great chp, can’t wait for more…. Laura you choose which is your most loyal reader’s real reaction…. X

    Chapter 76

    Gary L commented on Mark Arbour's story chapter in Chapter 76

    Granger’s homecomings used to be a shortish rounding off of the naval tale. But this one…. Gets more and more intense and intriguing. Thank you, Mark and well done!

    Ummm the word “creep” comes to mind. But… as my best friend said years ago, “A good creep is never wasted”. A lawyer, of course:……… 🤗
