This is so lovely. I adore Ava and Dylan's relationship, and I find Ava's little quirks and Dylan's timidness endearing. You've got a brilliant story here and a lot of talent. (:
I love the whole idea of Nowhere, Wisconsin and the small townfolk and feel of it. You portray your characters very well and I love you descriptions.
I love all of the workers in the diner, and the realism of this. Like I've said, you remind me alot of one of my favorite authors, but I'm afraid that if I mention her name that you'll be like "Ew no way" since she's sort of ends each story with a happily ever after. Anyways, you wrote that something similar happened to you, and I wondered, is that where the inspiration came from? Anyways, I love it so far, and I still have to read all of your other works. I love your writing style.
Ah I love this story! I just read all ten chapters in a row. It's amazing and I really liked how Ava and Dylan's names were introduced later in the story instead of right away. I look forward to reading more. :)
