I totally forgot about this story and never finished reading it, I started reading again from the beginning and it's even more amazing than I remember. Very well-written and evokes so much emotion! I'll probably be commenting after every few chapters I read lol. I'm not entirely happy about the ableist slurs in chapter 6, like "retarded"...that was a bit irresponsible in my opinion, HOWEVER, I looooooove this story and I'm obsessed with your writing dude! So happy I found this again :)
And so it ends. And just like it began. On that rooftop. But with a lot of character progression between then and now.
You know I've been a fan of this story for quite a while and it is so bittersweet to see it end. I can't wait for Set Sail, I'm heading over there now to leave a comment. Goodbye Windy, I'll miss ya'!
I CAN'T BELEIVE THIS OVER AND WHAT A BEAUTY IT WAS AND WHAT NO WHY
Seriously, I don't even think I can fully sum up what I'm currently feeling. This was so fabulous and I love, love, simply adore, the way you ended this. Because while Fader did end up falling in love with Josh and like that's who she's in a relationship with this is a lot about Mick and how she overcame her feelings and came to have a deeper friendship with him so I'm really glad you ended it with a scene between them.
Also, you paced this story really well. I commend you for that. Because it never felt like I needed more or was missing out on something. You touched all the right places, and the story feels whole, complete. I can accept that it's over. Bruh, you got mega skills and I'm gonna be stalking your page for your next novel cause like its gonna' be bomb. Keep me posted on any new fics you write. Fabs. job. This was the best.
Ha, swell. I get it. I'm making jokes to hide the fact that I am a mESS I love this story, I love the bond that the group has and how much they all care for each other and just ugh ALEX HOW AM I GOING TO RECOVER (by subscribing to the other stories of course ha)
Okay okay this is fine this is cool. WHO AM I KIDDING IT ISN'T. IT DOESN'T HELP I'M LISTENING TO "LANDSLIDE" WHICH IS THE SADDEST SONG IN THE UNIVERSE THEY'RE ALL SO HAPPY AND OLD AND I'M GRADUATING THIS YEAR AND I CAN'T HANDLE IT. BYE BYEEEEEEEEEEEEE I DON'T WANT THIS TO END
OH MY LORD. JUST. MY HEART. IS IT WEIRD THAT THE FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN NAT AND GEORGIA IS SO SIMILAR TO THE ONE MY BEST FRIEND AND I HAVE??? LIKE YOU WRITE IT SO RELATABLE AND EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NEVER BEEN SKINNY DIPPING I JUST /GET/ IT. LIKE BEING WITH YOUR BFF AND DOING DUMB SHIT AND JUST FEELING LIKE THIS IS THE ONLY PERSON YOU KNOW WHO ALWAYS ACCEPTS YOU/HAS ACCEPTED YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE. I just really love G and Nat's friendship bye gonna go cry into my bowl of cereal.
How could you give us something so cute just to take it away!? This is why I can't trust anyone with Nat other than James, okay? I need an explanation right now. Just when she knows that she doesn't want Mick at all. Talk about bad timing. Ugh. This story has broken me.
That's no in both french, english and slight gibberish.
I can't even believe this. Firstly I'm still hardcore rooting for Mik and Nat? And am slightly pleased that Josh is a dick now? But also WHAT? I so was no expected him to do that. Now you have to update like so soon soon like yesterday cause I GOTTA KNOW GOTTA GOTTA KNOW WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN.
PLEASE SPARE ME. SHOOT OUT AN ADVANCED COPY OF THE NEXT CHAPTER. I NEED IT. THIS IS LIFE OR DEATH. MORE DEATH THAN LIFE.
I still have so much love for this story. The characters are just the best people ever. Georgia is wickedly funny, always. And I'm still secretly rooting for the James and Nat romance that will never be.
I feel like there's gonna be some big reveal with Mick. There's gotta be some big reveal with Mick. And try as I might to be behind Josh and Nat I'm still a Mick fan at heart.
Aside from my sheer love for all these characters can I just say brava? You've really captured teenagers and just real humanness in this. I feel like people try to pretend that girls can't enjoy sex and Georgia is like so real and relatable and I love that Nat isn't like ew Georgia you're such a sex fiend like Georgia isn't slut shamed and that's really refreshing and cool. So yeah I like that.
I WANT TO SHIP JOSH AND SHNATTY (like my new nickname for Nat heh) BUT I JUST. MICK. MICK IS MY FAVORITE. I HATE ASSHOLE BOYS BUT I LOVE MICK BUT HE JUST NEEDS TO GET HIS ACT TOGETHER PLEASE.
But on a side note Georgia is the greatest friend ever tbh everyone needs a girl like her in their lives to supply sex toys and good advice. AND COLTON. AND JAMES. JOLTON. WHY IS NAT SURROUNDED BY SUCH GREAT FRIENDS I WISH I HAD A FRIEND GROUP OF TROUBLEMAKERS TO HAVE FUN WITH UUGHHHHH.
But I love this story. Always have. I need more updates IMMEDIATELY.
I'M CRYING. WHAT IS THIS. WHY ISN'T THERE MORE? WHY DID I READ IT SO QUICKLY? FML. FML. FML.
Perhaps, my use of capital letters is excessive.
NO, I DON'T THINK SO.
I don't even know who I'm rooting for anymore.
Josh. Mick. Mick. Josh. Maybe just make it easy on us and make it James. IDEK.
I think Josh is so sweet but I really want Mick to like prove himself worthy and stop being a super dick. I NEED MORE OF THIS ASAP LIKE YESTERDAY. Seriously I'm in love love love with this.
TEN SECONDS LATER I WENT TO READ THE CHAPTER AND FOUND OUT GEORGIA AND COLTON ARE OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL LIKE HWAT I'M SO HAPPY FOR THEM I ALSO HATE MY LIFE NOW CAUSE THEY'RE PERFECT AND WHY DON'T I HAVE WHAT THEY HAVE SO JEAL
I'm up to chapter 11 and I'm so damn hooked like a fish on a line here. It's 4 am and I'm dead tired but I CAN'T LOOK AWAY. GIRL THIS IS LIKE HEROIN. WHAT CHU DOIN TO ME. I'm like mad because Mick=bae but Josh is all types of perfect too. Also your side characters are so alive and well crafted. Georgia and Colton are the cutest non-couple ever. I love them, I love that Georgia is independent and totally in tune with her sexuality and like unashamed of having sex for pleasure and not just because its what you do. If that makes sense. You just have done a swell job here (see what I did there? okay cut me a break its 4 am I'm pretty much cracked out on your story here and I'm trying to be punny) In any event, I need to get back to reading.
