A Rhapsody of Sorts - Comments

What an awesome story.
It is stories like this that ignite my passion for perfection. My stories suck compared to this. Back to the drawing board for me.
I didnt like Oliver at first but the more I got to know her the more I realised there was a reason why she was the way she was.
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful story.

I'm not ready to let go. On the days I should have been doing homework, I was glued to my laptop. This really hit close to home for me, in more ways than one. Thank you for writing something so beautiful. Please don't ever get rid of it.

this is hands down the best story i have read in a long time.

HARRY'S HERE ALREADY I JUST KNOW IT
BELINDA CANNOT JUST GIGGLE FOR NOTHING
YAAAAAAAAAAAS HARRY
oh my god he bought ten of her tour shirts i'm crying
AND THEY'RE MOVING IN TOGETHER NOOOOOOO OMG
WATERWORKS
THANK YOU FOR THIS BRILLIANTLY BEAUTIFUL STORY I LOVE YOU I LOVE OLIVER I LOVE BELINDA I LOVE PIP I LOVE SYDNEY I LOVE HER MOM I LOVE EVERYONE
minus Blue and those otha bitches

(ch. 36) OF COURSE THIS STORY ENDS ON CHRISTMAS DAY YOU INSUFFERABLY TOUCHING WRITER.
omfg i think i'm in love with Gio now, too
6 seasons of friends in 5 days, what an accomplishment
AND HE HASN'T WORN REAL CLOTHES SINCE FRIDAY
DOES HE LIVE FOR THE APPLAUSE

AWWWW LIAM'S MESSAGES
I LOVE HIM
AND SHE RAN TWO RED LIGHTS OMFG
OLIVER
YOU FUCKIN' CRAY

ALSO OH MY GOODNESS WHAT AN AMAZING FINAL CHAPTER
(DW OBVI GONNA READ THE EPILOGUE HOLLAAAAA)

(ch. 35) wow
Liam sees right through Oliver and i just really love that
also i will interchangeably call her Oliver or Rose LOL
but anyways imo, i believe she's got three main, very different relationships and she's just so different in each of them
because with Belinda, she can't really hide anything, but the things she tries to keep from Belinda aren't of the same depth as the things she tries to keep from Harry and Liam and i suppose she's more open, in a vaguely general sense, with Belinda

and then there's Harry, where everything that she shares with him, albeit begrudgingly, is often tied to her past romantic relations and how those have affected her

and then there's Liam, whom she just cannot conceal herself from. Liam just sees right through her and he talks to her about everything–the things she talks about with Belinda, Harry, and the things she tells no one and even things she doesn't even realize herself. i think her relationship with Liam may quite possibly be my favorite because he gives her no choices, really; he forces her to see who she is and face her relationships as they are, he forces her to consider things that she wouldn't under normal circumstances, and, as shown countless times, he calls her out when she's bullshitting everyone or just herself. (i also think Dr. Liddle does this, but on a more surface-based subliminal level, as paradoxical as that sounds). Liam's relentless in his love for her, and i just can't get enough of that! i really appreciate how you've made such complex relationships, intentional or otherwise so (:

oh my goodness Fox

ARE YOU KIDDING ME
GOD DAMMIT
YOU REALLY HATE US HUH

ALSO IF SHE PLAYS THE HARP I WILL DIE
THIS IS AMAZING
I WOULD LOVE IT IF SHE DID
and i think it was so right having her alone for the second half of this chapter
it gave her time to really ruminate in all that's happened, both past and present, and really come to realize and appreciate what she has for friends and family and i think this was really a gentle reawakening for Rose ((((: she's grown so much in just this chapter alone, and i'm so proud of her.

(ch. 34) still ridiculously in love with Belinda
also that comparison of Thai takeout vs. the length of her friendship Belinda just killed me oh my god i was laughing so hard
also that fucking emotional ride with Dr. Liddle and Matthew oh my god STOP
ALMOST CRIED, NGL
omg Micah and the Pilates instructor crying
BELINDA OMFG
I MUST KNOW HER
I WISH SHE WAS REAL
SHE IS SO SWEET
OLIVER GIVE IN
HARRY LOVES YOUUUUUUUU
while maybe Harry shouldn't have been in there in the first place and i know that Oliver really just wants the best for Harry, he was quite right about questioning the importance of what he wants
because their relationship is so dynamic and abnormal, i think it's really important for what both of them want to be considered, you know? because yes, Rose believes that she's protecting Harry and keeping his best interests in mind but when it all comes down, only Harry can be the one who really knows what he wants

(ch. 33) oh my god waking up without her scared him
also if you haven't already realized the pattern basically every comment will start with "oh my god" bc your story takes me on an emotional roller coaster
OH MY GOD
NO
NO YOU'RE NOT YOU'RE NOT MY GIRLFRIEND AND I'M NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS
WHY
WHY
WHY
EXPLAIN TO ME OH MY GOD NO

(ch. 32) oh my god this whole "pretending" thing is breaking my heart
you can't just pretend something that intimate didn't happen
they couldn't the first time, and they certain can't this time because they're just so much more than friends or lovers
but oh my god when Harry said that he thought it'd be easier if she wasn't there in the morning oh my god NO

I can't believe it's over!!!!!
I just needs to keep going forever.

That was amazing and beautiful and fantastic and brilliant and everything one could hope for. I love that she just loves life and Harry and has truely embraced everything to the fullest and is doing what she loves and channeling her emotions and memories into music!! (That was a run on sentence.. My bad)

And the surprise with Harry was so adorable and I love that her and B are still so close. It's adorable.

Thank you for the countless hours you put into this story for us. It was amazing and I enjoyed every update!!

I'm at a loss of words to be honest. I had to tear myself away from it at four in the morning today to get some sleep and immediately picked it up when I woke up a little later. This was beautifully written and I can't be more thankful that you gave us the chance to read you work of art.

Thank you for this.

Such a PERFECT ending for an incredible story. I feel like I took a journey with each character, especially Rose and Harry, and I'm so glad each plot detail you created for them came full circle. It was a hopeful, heartwarming ending without seeming anywhere close to cliche which I appreciate. I cannot wait for the epilogue, and really hope you write another fic soon!

I don't know what I'm going to do with my time now! What am I gonna read!!???
It was beautiful and I love how she is becoming true to herself and she is working on her and doing what she wants.
I cannot wait until the epilogue

This was a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing it with us =)

All I can say is that this story was beautiful.

I love that she is finally coming around. And how she made the step to go into Matthews room!
I can't believe it's ending so I cannot wait until I can read it but it's going to be so sad that it's over. You're writing is amazing!
I cannot wait until the next chapter

Such an amazingly written chapter. Your way with words is truly a gift and I'm so sad for this story to end next update! Thank goodness the photos were recovered and that Rose was able to play music. I hope she agrees to the record label and tells Harry how she feels once and for all!

Yes! Im so happy that she's finally moving forward and getting back into the things she loves! Roses' conversations with Fox and Liam were lovely and this chapter just in general was wonderful. I don't want it to end but I cant wait for the last chapter!

Beautifully written chapter! Can't wait for the last! :)
