    This is for comment swap:
    I remember how your last summary went but I must say this one is so much more mysterious.
    It makes you really wonder what will happen in this story
    Well done.

    I think the layout and the summary are beeeeeaaaauuutiful!!! I'm jelly of the banner, how'd you make it?

    I like the summary, but I think you should take out the au contraire part because it doesn't really flow well. Like, the summary sounds kind of serious and then that part just kind of stands out and looks weird.

    But other than that, I really like it and I'll definitely have a read when the first chapter comes out :)

    The layout is beautiful, let me tell you that. Adored it with all my heart.

    I love the way you started it off, makes you start to wonder what is in store for this story and I really am looking forward to it. I'd love to read the first chapter when it comes out.

    I like the layout. It's simple but pretty, and your banner fits the story very well.

    Now, your summary. I really like it, but I prefer to get a bit of an idea at where the story is going to take off from. So maybe you could include something about her graduating high school or something like that? That's just my opinion though; if you decide to keep it as is, then that will be great as well.

    I only saw one major error that really hung me up:
    And his skin skin,

    I don't know if you knew that was there, but I thought I'd just make you aware.

    I'm looking forward to this and will definitely read the first chapter when you post it. :D

    First off, I adore the layout. It seems to fit with the summary very well.

    The idea sounds very promising. With summer on its way, this could prove to be the perfect read.

    There are a few things in the summary, however, that for some reason just don't flow well. I took the liberty and revised it a little. Feel free to disregard it if you wish.

    Most other high school graduates' minds were stuck on going off to the university,getting married, or even remaining at home a little longer.

    Au contraire. The morning after graduation, Lillian Rose packed her few possessions in an old, well-worn suitcase, and flew to California, leaving behind everything to live with her great uncle, Robert.

    Everything's going to change - her past seemingly being erased. But when two figures from her past unexpectedly emerge outside her great uncle's beach shop, all she'd hoped to leave behind will come rushing back.


    I'm looking forward to reading this!

    Also: yay for first comment!
