Reactions and Reviews
This is probably my fourth time rereading this story. It's so nice to read such a feel-good and heartwarming fic, thank you for writing it and sharing it with us.[1]
Hello, just wanted to tell you that I really really liked this! I mean everything about it honestly. Your interpretation of the characters, your world it took place, the well thought out story, the brilliant and witty dialogue, the relationships between the characters, the execution of all of it, just everything was so so well done!!! I may be in the minority here but I liked it more than "Catch me I'm Falling". I guess for me this one was more believable, I liked these characters better.
Anyhow, well done and thank you so much for sharing your gift with us![2]
This could be a damn movie! I binged this on the weekend and loved everything from beginning to end. I've never had a fic that made me laugh as much as this one![3]
I loved it! Exactly what I look for in a rom-com. Humor, clichés, mutual pining, idiots being idiots, hilarious friends, overbearing family members, grand romantic gestures, small romantic gestures, and a perfect ending. Thank you for this![4]
This was the cutest, most tooth-rottingly, most SATISFYING happiness I've read in a long while and I LOVED IT. Holy shit like, I laughed out loud, I got all emotional, hot damn what fun! I'm over the moon that there's a sequel too, and can't wait to read it. I hope you and your loved ones are well during this crisis time, and thanks for a great ride![5]
