Are the main characters easily defined and strong?
Kevin is, Nick just got introduced so it's too early for me to say. Julie, unfortunately comes off a little bland. I think her interactions a little awkward, stiff, and that she doesn't have enough depth. But it's still early. I just find myself caring more about Kevin than her, which is rare since unless it's a bromance, I don't usually read Kevin fics lol.

I think I want her to come off a little awkward with the traveling outside of her time.
Rose:
Okay, it just makes her very hard to relate to as a character and her interactions.
Purpura Lipstick:
^ no I don't want her to be completely awkward just somewhat awkward so I thank you for saying that she comes off awkward and bland. :)
Purpura Lipstick:
1) Since you started the story, has it lead you down the path you thought it would or have there been any surprises you didn't see coming? - It has been going the path I thought it would, hard not to with the storyline that this is.
2) How is the pacing of the story? Do you feel like there are too many filler chapters or is it moving too quickly? -So far I feel that the story is progressing at a normal rate, not too fast, not too slow. I don’t feel there are many filler chapters as Rose’s chapters each tend to advance the story along.
3) Is it easy to understand? -Well there was one line that Brian spoke I had to re-read a couple of times to understand but that was intentional so yes, easy to understand.
4) Have the characters fully developed to your liking? If not, what are they lacking? -I’d love more Kevin, of course lol, but Rose has each of the boys in a very believable manner.
5) Is this something you are still excited to finish? -I want to finish it to find out how things are going to be handled by excited, no; I am never excited to read something that could make me cry. ;)
6) Tell us something you feel has stood out about the story. The biggest strength thus far - Rose has a great way of writing the bond between Brian and Nick and Kevin and Nick. I enjoy reading their interactions.
7) Do you feel like your reading partner has been reading and reviewing your work fairly and has been participating as they should? - Rose has given me some good feedback so far and though I know she’s been busy I also know she will not let me down.
8) Any questions for the author now that you're halfway through? I can’t think of any but usually if I have a question I ask her when I review.
mare:
Once again just reminding everyone to keep reading! come Sunday we will be at the halfway mark of the summer already! (Oh noes!!) so you might want to keep that in mind as far as your reading goes. If you hit Sunday and aren't halfway through your story, you may want to step it up!
Also don't forget to fill out those surveys once you get there!
I will start bugging some of you by next Wednesday but hopefully by then I won't have to!
:)
