Reactions and Reviews

I'm sure most of you keeping up with this reclist have probably read this fic, but it is one of my favorites so I had to put it on here now that it's finished.

I remember when I first started this book I gave up a few chapters in and almost forgot about it but then JC asked me to check it out again and I'm so fucking glad that I did.

It starts out a bit slow, and I honestly didn't have high hopes for it (I'm sorry JC - you know I love you) but the author improved her writing style so much in such a short amount of time, and before I knew it, I was hooked.

It's got everything including drama, fluff, smut, and a great ending. There is quite a few triggers

including alcohol and drug use, body image issues, rape, and a few more I'm probably forgetting so be careful if you are sensitive to things like that.

I can't really explain the plot without spoiling it, but trust me on this and go check it out if you haven't already.

I just have to say that this is the best fanfiction I have ever read. When they deleted your account my brother and I had a funeral for Theater 12 and Not the Average Friendship. I literally cried for 2 days because I wanted to reread this fanfiction for the 4th time. Ever since it got deleted I have been thinking about this fanfiction and hoping one day I would be able to read it again. That day has come. Thank you for providing this story!
