Reactions and Reviews

From reviews by Bethany on PlaceToHide.net:

Even after the last chapter, I wasn’t sure how I felt about Miss Dodger Blue’s execution. There was something that I liked about it, but I can’t quite put my finger on what. Was it the handful of humorous scenes, such as Taylor wearing a hot pink bra? Was it the surprising emotional depth of one or two scenes? I don’t know. I’m not on the edge of my seat for the next story, but I’m also not slamming my laptop shut and wishing I’d never read the first.

I understand that it’s difficult to end a story you’ve fallen out of love with over the course of a few years. I don’t mean to belittle the struggle that Miss Dodger Blue must have gone through. I just feel that she could have done a much better job providing a satisfying ending, since she obviously did at least try to provide some ending.

Awards

California Living won awards in the Fools Banquet Awards. The two stories are featured in the PlaceToHide.net hall of fame.
