    Heyyyy...
    *Wonders if you see my comments...* XD
    So, I had this series marked after reading your other two stories. Since this had more to it, it definitely took me longer to read, ergo my slight delay in finally reviewing... but I definitely pushed through reading the rest of it since you updated your other story yesterday. :)
    I really enjoyed what you had of this story; I thought it was really sweet how she ended up with Alex, and just was able to realize who she truly loved. I'll admit, it was hard to push through the Jack and Zack relationships, because... well, as I mentioned on your other story, Jack stories often make me uncomfortable to read, and then as for Zack... I don't really read fan fics with him as a love interest either. XD I'm horrible, I know. XD But I loved what she had with them, because it helped her grow as a person. The Holly in this installment is definitely a far cry to the Holly we started with.
    Looking at each installment, something that was slightly off for me was how the POV changed between each. I mean, you started off with Holly, and the first installment had some shifts in POV, then the second had a lot more... then, this one, it's like we don't even get Holly's POV at all, which is interesting. If you ever do choose to continue this, it would be interesting to finally get her third person perspective in a chapter, since it's hard to know what she's truly feeling. Or well, I think during the one Alex chapter, you had it briefly overlooking her, but, I would love to see a chapter again solely her third person view. Or maybe you had that in mind for the ultimate final chapter to this, to kind of wrap everything up in a bow. Start with Holly, end with Holly POV sort of deal.
    Even though I struggled to read through her relationships with Zack and Jack, her one with Alex, ughhhh... <333 It made reading through those so worth it. :') It's just so sweet, and I love how sincere it is. Like chapter 10 of this installment, girl... you HAD MY HEART. <33
    Going back to the writing style, I realize that it probably changed between the second installment and this one, especially considering the account switch. So, I can totally understand that. It was weird, though, seeing so many points of view compared to the other installments. But I guess it was good to give all the perspectives.
    Anyway, long story short, I did definitely enjoy this despite the POV changes and all of the back and forth going on with Holly deciding who she truly wanted to be with. XD I mean, she definitely learned from it, at least. This definitely has to be one of the most intermingled stories, relationship-wise, that I've seen. Because not only did Holly get with 3/4 of the band, so did Alice, lol. And also with Matt and that whole mess. XD I was like, wow, like it's a wonder they're still functioning, but... I'm glad Jack and Zack, for example, didn't hold grudges and let Holly did what she truly wanted. That just shows how strong and mature their characters are. :)
    I hope you come back to this someday. I'm surprised this never got any comments. :O You're definitely a great writer and deserve more, girl. :( Even on the old account, those two stories hardly got any comments, like, what. :O You put so much work into them and deserved more feedback.
    I will be here to read if you ever choose to continue, as with your other two stories I checked out. :) Would like to see Alex and Holly finally get their ending, and see Holly get the happy ending she deserves. That girl has been through so much; even though she's made mistakes, she deserves to be happy by the end of this. Hopefully with Alex. :) (BTW, I had a feeling she would end up with him after reading his POV chapter 14 of Running From Lions; again, can you say tear at the heartstrings much? :'))
    It's been a few years, but I have faith you can come back to this, since you did come back on for your other story. <3 If not, at the very least, hope my feedback brings a smile. :)
