Your description is really lovely throughout this. Simple, but paints the picture perfectly. Usually, when I read stories about holidays it's all happy-go-lucky and great fun, so it's really refreshing to see a change from that. I don't think I could have hated anyone as much as I hated Jordan and Krista at that moment in time. You don't just leave someone stranded in a foreign country on their own, that really is just a (excuse the French) shitty thing to do! I was quite glad when Sophie was offered a place to stay, even if it was just a hostel. I genuinely felt so bad for her when she thought she would have nowhere to go. The positive is that she met Peter, who totally seems like my kind of guy! He's cute, has manners and he just seems so sweet. The ending was so adorable, I'm definitely not one for romance but that is just too adorable. I'd like to read more about Sophie and Peter in the future!
I'll be announcing the winners of the contest later on tonight, so good luck!
First things first, I like the layout. It's simple yet pretty, and easy to read which is really all that I need. I like how you've kept the summary short and sweet. It draws the reader in and entices them to wanting to read the story, but still it doens't give too much away at first. I like your descriptions throughout the story, they're strong and not overbearing. I like the way you've made Peter all mannerly and like areal gentleman. I liked that. Good job overall dear.
