    I must say I LOVE the layout, I think the picture brings a lot of personality to the story. Although the print did hurt my eyes after a while, but hey! it was worth it for such a great story. Has a unique ring to it. I think that you are the creator of a one in a million story!!! LOOOOVVVEEEE it!!!

    Comment Swap sent me here, but this is a wonderful story. I like how the first chapter starts out with Jupiter being in the attic, missing her sister and Noah. The way you describe what’s happening around Jupiter and what she’s doing, it almost sounds like poetry, which is a good thing. And I love how Noah suddenly shows up on her doorstep. I wonder what he wants now and why he was gone for so long? This I shall find out in the next chapter.

    I have a few other stories to finish reading, but I will be subbing to this story and bookmarking it so that I can finish it later. I promise. Thanks for the great read. :) I enjoyed it.

    Comment swap sent me here.

    As there are so many chapters, I'll just use the first few for comment swap purposes. The layout is absolutely gorgeous, so really well done on that.

    I don't even know what it is, but the first line really hooked me in. You have a beautiful writing style, and your description really is flawless. Like losing control. said, you've got the perfect level of detail without revealing everything to the reader instantly. I'm really intrigued by Noah, I want to know why he left, and why he returned. Even in your first chapter, you leave a lot of questions unanswered, and I have a massive urge to read on. The fact that Jupiter can't remember her husband's name is really interesting. You've done a really good job of developing Jupiter's character throughout your chapters. I couldn't see any grammar or spelling mistakes as I was reading, which made me very happy.

    I've only read the first few chapters of this, but I'll certainly be reading on. You've done a really fabulous job of writing this, and I'm really excited to read the rest of this! :)

    I'm here from comment swap, and I only read the first chapter, but I adore your writing style. You add just the right amount of detail, but leave enough mystery to make me want to keep reading.

    I love how you described Jupiter's emotions. Actually, I love everything about her so far. Her name is really unique and I love her personality so far. She seems like she's trying to keep herself together even though she's falling apart, and I feel like I can relate to that.

    I loved the last line, very cliffhanger like and it left me anticipating what was going to happen next. Very awesome job!

    I decided to re-read chapter 33, and noticed that the background was a bit different. Or maybe it was just my imagination. Anyways, I felt the need to scroll all the way down, so I did, and what do you know: chapter 34. I was sooo happy, you have no idea. I told my brain, though, "Calm down, let's re-read the last two chapters to really get back into the feel of it." And when I got to read last chapter, I was so pleasantly surprised; Jupiter didn't die like I thought she would. You had written in one of your notes that you didn't have the power to make Noah die, but you didn't say anything about Jupiter. Thank goodness she hadn't though. (:

    And Noah! Like the one in The Notebook, whose loved one doesn't remember him either. Did you plan that? Because that was pretty neat.

    I really really loved your story. It made me cry; it made me laugh. It made me FEEL. Like I was there, like I was a part of it. It was beautiful, and I know that anything you write in the future will be just as beautiful, just as magnificent. (:

    FINALLY.
    I was so surprised when I saw the email notification for this update. But it was a good kind of surprised, almost like Christmas in July. But not. Because it's June. Anyway. I liked how you ended it even though it kind of bummed me out. But it must feel so good to finally finish this story - I really really loved it. You're a very talented writer and I hope you keep writing. I will most likely read anything else you write. :]

    I miss this story so much. Since it had been so long since I had read an update I had almost forgotten about it. Then I was looking through my sketchbook and saw a drawing of a ballerina will a caption saying Astronaut. The rush of feelings was amazing. I couldn't believe that I couldn't remember how it ended. Now checking up on it, I feel sad that it's been so long since you've updated. I hope that you can come back to finish it soon, even though I can definitely understand that Life can drain all of one's time. :) Stay beautiful.

    This is such a beautiful story. I especially love Chapter 33. It, and so many other chapters, made me cry; they were so beautiful. I love how Lora Joan answers Jason with "the light" at the end. It's so deep and powerful. And I also love Jason. <3
    Thanks for this story. It's one of the best stories I've ever read.

    Sorry for the late comment, I've been in Germany the last five weeks....

    The details included in chapter 33 painted a beautiful picture. The slight foreshadowing about how Lora Joan had felt funny waking up that morning made me scared that this would be the chapter where she passed on and the details about how she was growing even though it didn't matter made me very sad. Then when she was playing with Jason and answered "the light" I shared Jupiters confusion and fear before understanding.

    Beautiful chapter for a beautiful story. Thank you for finding the time to write, update, and share this story with us.

    This chapter made me think of "Drops Of Jupiter" by Train. Just saying.
    And, I totally hate you right now for the random crash at the end. You're going to kill one of them aren't you? AREN'T YOU!? Everything is supposed to end happily, dammit!

    Update soon, plz.
