Holy cannoli. Jack and Alyssa's first conversation in three years went quite terribly. He wasn't even able to get two sentences in before she cut him off and left. While he deserved most of it, I feel like Lyss just kicked a limping puppy. Jack's clearly worse for wear and sorry for what he did, but both of them need to figure out how to deal with what happened before spending prolonged amounts of time with each other.
As with the other chapters, you've done a great job on this update and I'm eager to find out what you have in store.
Amazing! Alyssa is bothering me though. She needs to be happy and stop being stupid and forgive everyone and go back to living her happy life in Baltimore with her friends. She has to stop blaming everything for herself even though I do believe it was her fault (and Jack's). Alex needs to stop being a bitch too. Okay, well this is a great story. Update.
I just read 'Love Drunk' and everything you've posted for this, and I'm kicking myself for now reading them sooner. The plot and characters you've developed are great and I'm definitely] hooked.
Zack's admission was quite unexpected and it's heartbreaking that Alex has changed so much since Alyssa left. And now that Jack is downstairs with the rest of the Barakats, I can only imagine what's going to happen.
I just hope everyone stays alive long enough to eat Christmas dinner.
I just read through this whole thing so far and I love it. I'm reading the prequel, which I should have done in the first place, but I don't make sense.
I love Rian's rant because it makes so much sense. I feel bad for the pain she put Rian, Alex, and Zack through, but I get why she's upset as well. I want to see how things go when she sees Jack again, but right now I'm curious about her reunion with Alex.
Ah! Rian is just amazing with his whole speech in the car. In fact you sir are amazing! You write so well! And Zack, dear me, he is awesome! I forgot how much I loved this story, just spent a lovely half an hour re-reading it. Will there be any more soon? I hope so :)
