Chapter Two:
So, it wasn't bad. It was nice. I hated how in the beginning you kept describing things with "that we called blah-blah-blah" at the end of the description. It was too repetitive. Your descriptions don't need to sound alike every time. It's one thing to have a style and another to repeat something every time you describe something. You didn't do it every time but you did enough for me to really notice.
I didn't really look for grammar/spelling issues but I didn't see any obvious ones.
As for the content, I felt that towards the end the affectionate way Gabby and Melody (who's name was never said except as the chapter title) was very unrealistic since Gabby is straight. I have lesbian friends and bi-sexual friends and straight friends. None of those friends caresses my face and I do not put my head on the stomachs. My best friend has slapped me on the butt when we were drunk once, even (course, she was trying to freak me out and make me fall since I was standing on my dresser drunk). But never, not even drunk, have we been that affectionate towards each other.
I felt like maybe the writing needs a little work, practice maybe? And I believe that the characters and their relationships need to be worked on.
I found in the first chapter that Alex and her male best friend seemed fine except that he wanted to know details of the lesbian love life that is Alex's. I don't think that's completely realistic either. I think Alex, judging her characteristics shown so far, would have flipped on him for asking about details and he would know not to ask by now.
I just am not into this story. I'm sure that there are people who adore this story and feel into it.
I'm not one of them.
Don't take my comment as the only opinion. Find other opinions as well because my opinion is not the only opinion out there and what I don't like, someone else may like.
I'm sorry I couldn't give you a nicer opinion. I just don't want to lie and it sound false because it would sound false.
Anyway, I really like this and I'm going to subscribe.
Hoped you liked the comment.
Gives hug. Laura.
