Hrmm... trying to think of some more questions for you Ashley lol

How about you tell us what your favorite scene or chapter is in the story and why?

Same for a favorite line? I know that's much harder but sometimes a line might come to you right away.

How about everyone else reading the story now or who have already read it, you can answer both of those questions as well.

:)

My favorite part is when she finally starts talking to Nick. I totally understood that relationship that the two of them had and I loved it. And I loved all the complications that it caused with the other guys. To me, that whole issue just really made sense.  ... unlike this post. sorry.

I guess I hadn't realized nearly a week passed already! haha.

Okay...favorit e scene would have to be when Amber is OD'ing on her medications, and Nick finds her. It to me shows how vulnerable and afraid she was, that she was willing to go to such extremes just to end her suffering, not realizing how much love was out therefor her from the Boys. And when Nick found her, it shows what a special bond they really did have, and how much he cared for her. It to me was kind of the beginning of a breaking point for Amber, because after she was hospitalized, she started to open up more towards the others as well, seeing that all they ever wanted was good for her.



As for favorite line...still thinking! haha...it will be up by....well, the 29th. JK. Ill have it before then!

Wow I can't believe it's almost the end of the month!

Anyone else have any final thoughts about this story? Any anecdotes you'd like to share Ashley?

I just finished reading it a couple days ago.  I thought that it was really well written!  Ashley, you have a very good way of keeping your readers interested and entertained.  The cliffhangers were really well done, I would have gone crazy if I was reading this when it was first being posted lol.  I thought it was really sweet how she started opening up to Nick, even if some of the others weren't too keen on that (AJ, Brian etc)

I thought you wrote Amber's emotions very well.  I've had a friend who has gone through sort of the same thing, and you've done a very good job at capturing what Amber went through and the different ways she tries to cope.  Excellent job on that.

But yeah, really well done over all!

Aww, thank you! You make me blush! I've been writing all my life, but this is actually the first full length story I've ever written...and finished! So I am glad that I got across everything as I intended to! Some of my fears are drawing things out too long, and having the emotions not come out as much as I would like. Your feedback confirms that these fears are mostly in my head though! haha. Thanks again. I really appreciate it, and glad you enjoyed the story!

...and I just might make a sequel once I finish Not So Bad. It seems to be a popular request, so I can see what I can come up with for one. *grins*

Aww it's okay.  She came out stronger in the end for it, it was a long time ago.  Unfortunately it is quite a sad reality.
