Personally--and this is nothing against you, you really write quite well. It wasn't choppy or repetitive or any of those typical problems, I'm just not a fan of arranged marriage stories. I never could get into them. I read the first eight chapters though. It isn't a bad story at all. I've just seen the general idea of arranged marriages too much to be able to have one hold my attention for long. It's really nothing against your writing skill, you write quite well.
The only thing that irritated me a bit were how underplayed Faye's emotions were. I get she wants to be a good girl, but it just felt a bit unrealistic to have her react to the news they weren't really her parents do calmly, or get along with Nace so well despite circumstances. Any person in that situation would have been so very emotionally compromised it wasn't funny. Her reaction just left more to be desired. Also she really should feel a bit more uncomfortable about sharing a bed with a total stranger. She knows nothing about him, shouldn't she be a bit more wary of him?
hmmm I juzt realized that you wrote this becuase i read it a lond time ago and its a great story but i never looked at the auther until now...it was a really good story!?!
.... Oh. My. God! What an ending! I loved everysecond of this story. Every second! You did a wonderful job. I praise you on your writing, on your unique way of plotting an arranged marriage. Many these days are the standard girl gets told, girl moves in, they fall in love happily ever after. But Faye.. she is so unique. You are unique. Bravo, darling!
Hi I just read ur story in an hour and I'd like to say it was the best 60 minutes of my life![= Can you make a sequel? I'd really like to know what would happen next[=
Great update. I like how Faye likes Nace, but is still insistent on getting out and on her own. She sounds a lot like me. The character are great, the story line is coming along nicely, and overall its a great piece of work. Keep it up, and hope to see another chapter soon.
I'm surprised to find an arranged marriage story that actually has good grammars and style. The beginning is great. It makes me want to find out what's the deal with the baby.
hey this is really good, first of all considering there are thousands of storyies like it it nice to see the main character don't ttaly hate each other. second it's really well writen compaired to other stories. you have a way with words. so keep writing :). <3 Grapophobic/ Emily
