Noah and Jordan

I’m with the consensus here.  Well developed complicated characters who are easy to identify with.  A complicated plot with lots of twist and turns.  Overall a great story that was difficult to put down. 

I loved it! The most realistic story of a young gay couple. It was a roller coaster ride of emotions too! Great build up of characters and their budding relationships especially between Noah and Jordan. Just the right twists and turns. Now I felt like there's a tiny void within me as I part with this story. Bittersweet, indeed.

It took me a few chapters to really get into this story, but once I did I found it compelling and unputdownable. One more chapter, I kept thinking, then I’ll go and do some work. The characters are well-thought out, real people. You can imagine their lives carrying on once the storyteller's spotlight has moved away. The obstacles they have to overcome with families and friends are so true to life. A real gem that I will definitely read again.

!!!Minor Spoilers ahead!!!

I first started reading this on Nifty years ago, but for some reason dropped it around chapter 7, yet the story always stayed in my memory. I recently remembered this and actually found that you've updated it and posted it on here so I took it as a sign that I need to finish reading it. Boy am I happy I did. Honestly the story is so well written! I was ugly crying all the way from when Noah & Jordan started cooking until Jordan said he chose Noah. Also I love the fact that you've included very realistic struggles most of us have to go through in our lives, like coming out, hemophobia and money. One of the biggest highlights for me personally was the never ending sarcasm everywhere. The interactions between Noah and Jenn, Jenn and Jordan and Jordan and Noah. All of that was pure gold. I genuinely didn't not want the book to finish and was pretty sad when it did. Overall a massive thank for a beautiful experience! 

Ok, so, I want to say first that while I read a lot here, I rarely review anything, because I'm kind of cynical and stingy with praise. That said, I absolutely loved this story from start to finish. I found it to be honest, real and quite well written, with very a believable, fun, quirky cast and very real emotion. Thank you very much for sharing your work with us!

A superbly written portrayal of the trials and tribulations of a relationship in early adulthood. Realistic, yet engaging — I eagerly awaited each chapter as they came out, and they didn’t disappoint. I’m jealous of the lucky people who can now binge-read this whole story.

While @Ethan did a great job with ensuring the story came to a natural and fitting end, I wish these was more, simply because I felt I got to know the characters so well and missed them after the story ended. Here’s hoping there’s a sequel or a spin-off story so we can get more Noah and Jordan! 

I should have written a review on this story the second I finished it, but I was so busy, I just did have the time. I have the time now and I must say, this is one of the very best stories I have read on this site.  Crushes are real, and they don't always turn out as well as they do in this story.  So many authors either do not have the time nor do they want to take the time to develop the full possibilities of a story.  This story takes its time and you get a look from ever angle of a true loving relationship.  I must confess, at one point I was so concerned where things were going, I had to jump to the end to see if Noah and Jordon were still together.  After learning what I wanted to know, I could go back and read along with peace in my heart, not turmoil.  Wouldn't it be nice if like was like a story and you could skip ahead and see how things turn out?  For sure this story hit every emotional point.  Very well done, I loved it.  

Easily one of the best stories I've ever read. Just wish it could've lasted longer. 

I am also felling empty with the story ending. I really really would like to see more of the guys, their kids, doctor Young etc. Very good work Ethan.

This story really moved me while I was reading it. All the emotions, characters and settings were really relateable to me.

I definitely recommend this great read and thanks to @Ethan for this story 😀. If there is anything I hate about it, it's that it has ended. You know you read something epic when a part of you feels empty when the story ends.

One of my favorite stories on here. Well written, emotional, funny and with complex characters. If you just stumbled onto it and are considering reading it, please do, it’s so worth it! 

I loved this story when it was originally posted on Nifty and waited the six years it took to post there and reread it multiple times.  I savored it there but I devoured it here. I loved the more realistic changes @Ethan made to this story, although sometimes sad it is often the truth. The characters are well written and developed and you couldn’t help but feel attached to them and understand their struggles and points of view. This is a story I am definitely saving and planning on rereading down the line.
