    UGH. I have never been more devastated that a story wasn't finished or continued. :(
    So, I stumbled across this story probably around a year ago, and marked it and it's been in my bookmarks... I was a bit hesitant to read it due to the third person POV. Idk what it is, but I usually hate it; it usually doesn't seem as personal to me, and it's hard to connect to. That being said, though, giving this story a chance... it definitely changed my mind on it, and I can't see it written in say, first person POV. But just want to say, this is a rarity for me to get through third person.
    And now that I've read what all you had of it... wow. Just, wow. You are an amazing writer; probably one of the best ones I've read, tbh. You definitely did your research when it came to Sunday's condition, but along with that, you just made this story so interesting, so sweet, so sad, so... loving. :( So, aggravating as well, lol, I'll explain that.
    I'm not sure who's side to be on: Liam's, or Alex's? On one hand, after all that shit Alex put her through, and he just kept freaking doing it (hooking up with the girl at the party, at the wedding, seeing his freaking ex on the side)... all of this pisses me off and makes me happy she found Liam. Because Sunday honestly deserves happiness. She did nothing wrong, and Alex is seriously an asshole in this story for taking advantage of her like that, and leading her on... I mean, okay, if he wasn't feeling it anymore, WHY DIDN'T HE JUST TELL HER. Like, why drag her through that heartbreak? Ugh, I was so annoyed with him.
    But, upon reading the chapters post break-up... I'm not really too much of a fan of Liam's. He just seems really spiteful, despite the image he's showing Sunday. I guess it was good he was understanding when she needed to talk to Alex, but... idk, something about him just didn't seem right. He seemed too perfect, though perhaps, that's what the problem is.
    lol, but this being said, still not putting her through the ringer like Alex did. Like, Alex's feelings for her just confused me. Like, he was devastated when she broke off the engagement, was sobbing... but didn't feel bad enough to stop things with his ex beforehand? What? And just, like, he kept apologizing for the other girls, but it was like... it just kept happening. And it just made no sense why he did that to her, if he loved her the way he said, or loves her.
    This story made me cry for the first time in a long time, specifically with the break-up chapter. Know that it's been a while since a story has done that to me.
    And hey, even after all of this... I'm still team Alex. XD Probably makes no sense considering my frustration, but... sigh. I guess it just feels like he's finally learned from his mistakes. Hopefully. But also, I did start reading for Alex, so... I guess it makes sense why I'm still rooting for him. lol.
    But even so, I am for Sunday's happiness, so if it's not with him, so be it. The girl's been through so much, so, she just deserves what she thinks is best for herself.
    One other thing I want to mention that I was impressed with: her transformation. Wow. She went from this shy, quiet, terrified girl, to someone who goes out of their comfort zone more. She went to school, and came out stronger despite her heartbreak... and I guess that's also why I side with Alex as well, because he helped cause this change in her. He helped her find that confidence, even though he broke her heart several times in the process. Another thing that turned me against him a bit: he never accepted her for who she was, and that definitely annoyed me. At least Liam didn't mind that and let her be herself.
    Sigh, so, yeah, I guess I'm still kind of conflicted. XD This story, man, is one for the books. This should be professionally published, in all honesty. It's seriously that good.
    ... It's been four years since you last posted for it, though, so I'm not sure if there's any hope that it will ever be continued/concluded. But I wanted to leave this comment anyway, to maybe hopefully inspire you? Even if it's just a final chapter; I think Sunday deserves an ending to her story. You put so much work into it too, for it to just go unfinished. But that's ultimately up to you.
    Know that I will be here, though, to read and leave additional feedback if you ever choose to continue. You'll still have at least one reader with you.
    And if not... know that this story tore me apart, in a good way. It was seriously so good; I couldn't stop reading and basically read it in a day. Kudos to the long-ish chapters, by the way, not many writers on here are able to do that.
    I hope, at the very least, you're able to see this comment, and it brings a smile to your face. I also hope that you're still writing outside of here, because you sincerely have talent that shouldn't go to waste.
    Apologies for the long comment, there was just a lot to say, haha. But even this comment length doesn't even do justice for what this story deserves. I tried my best, though.
    I'll be here. <3

    See, I started reading this and from the second moment I was expecting something bad to happen. But it kept getting better instead, until they named the baby ‘Sunday’. I was like ‘Ok, the worst thing that could happen, just did.“ And then I was like “Oh, this can’t be the worst thing. The baby could have been named Wednesday. So I’m not safe yet.” And then you mentioned her syndrome, in which I’ve been very interested since I watched the movie Adam. I was totally drawn to your writing, and it was so not boring, not even for a second. I’ll be reading the next chapter. Nicely written. Great job.
    I was just totally annoyed by one thing, and I hope it’s just me. But the name is so irritating. Although, I do thank God her name is Sunday and not Friday or January or something.

    Is it bad that I really want Sunday and Liam to continue for longer? But then Alex and Sunday have history and argh. I can't wait for more.

    Amber really does seem like she's become the kind of friend Sunday has always needed... like she's finally not a bitch. So nice to see. Liam vs Alex..... such a hard choice. Liam is wonderful, but Alex... is well, Alex. He and Sunday are meant to be. It's written in the stars, as cheesy as it sounds.

    Crying because there is so much underlying angst. The testosterone levels at the end O.o I kind of like how Liam is all "stay away from my girl!" because it makes Alex just want to do something bad. How bad does that sound oh my gosh. Can't wait for the next update! So happy to have this story back.
