I knew it. I just knew that she had had an eating disorder of somekind. Watch her skipping some meals play into the story later ;) love this :) :) :) :D :D :D :P :P :P
Just like I said about your other story, I think you did a really great job in choosing names with this one too. Shy. It's like, well, she's been the bullied, intimidated girl that has lost her confidence in herself. Maybe even the "shy" girl. But now, she's gained all her confidence back, meaning she's not shy at all anymore, but when she meets Ryan again, she has to face that she hasn't changed that much really and that, even though he was the cause of her suffering, he could also be the one that lets her feel love. ....you know... haha
I really didn't expect that her past was THAT drastic. But once again, this is one more interesting fact that makes me want to read more and more. Your story just flows perfectly, you know. Not too fast and not too slow either. When I read it, I feel...content.
This story is amazing. Really, everything about it is. The way you write, the plot, the characters. When I read this story, I'm always smiling. I love how you describe Shy's feelings, her situation, her old life and her life now. It's interesting to read what'll happen because, I can assure you, it always turns out to be more than I've anticipated and I'm looking forward to more.
