Lal111 2008-07-23 ch 7, anon.	abuseYou are a bit confused, hun. You write "In America 'Alexander' is shortened to 'Alex', but in Russia 'Aleksandr' becomes 'Alexei' or 'Sasha'." There is Alexander (becomes Sasha) and Alexei (becomes Lesha). Those are two separate different names.
Catseye*Rose 2008-07-15 ch 12,	abuseI really adored this story. It was great, really. Bittersweet (with more emphasis on the sweet), and pretty realistic. I loved the main characters and their relationships. Especially between Kiara and Luke (I was really happy when they sat down and talked :P) The epilogue tied everything up nicely, so I agree that there doesn't need to be a sequel. Ah, there are too many things...I loved it all! XD And I think the idea of a prequel is great, although I doubt my opinion has much bearing since it's been four years since this was finished :P
Cydney 2008-06-24 ch 12, anon.	abuse'Kay, so I'm listening to you and reviewing your story. Firstly I have to say, that I loved it. It was really cute, and you DID end up explaining the awkward stain on the other bed. I was "aww"-ing for a minute straight after I finished the story. Good job.
Princess of Lies 2008-06-20 ch 3,	abuseAh yes, the old "you need to socialize" talk. My parents think that I'm antisocial just because I only associate with people when I'm in school. I think they just want to meet my friends and deem them acceptable or unacceptable. Parents... I love mine, but sometimes they just need to let me be.
LilyHeart 2008-06-15 ch 12,	abuseI love this story. Some of it had me laughing, some of it I spent angry at Luke and his parents, and I nearly cried when Jessica was destroyed. I absolutely love it, and I'll probably reread it alot.
Sidderiffic 2008-06-06 ch 12,	abuseTHUMBS UP FOR THE PREQUEL IDEA! Lol, I'm only like how many years behind on this one? Anyways, I really enjoyed this story! Loved the characters! Thanks for sharing~ ♥
Kyuuketsuki-Yaoi Fan- 2008-04-23 ch 12,	abuseThis Story Is Really Good. I'm Not Sure About A Sequel Or Prequel But I'd Be Willing To Read It If You Did Post It
Dana 2008-03-26 ch 12, anon.	abuseVery beautiful. Amazing. I loved the little input of Russian (mainly because Russian's going to become my second language, yes, I have decided). I found this story uber original and absolutely touching. Just between me and you, and whoever may read your reviews, I practically cried when Jessica hit the wall. The end was slightly predictable, where Alex came to give Luke a home-made violin. But I will say, I love how you did it. Overall, this story was amazing. Wonderful, wonderful. Bravo, bravo. More sweet story-applauds. :) And your plans for little inputs, family background stories, and prequels sounds amazing. I'll have to keep myself updated. :)
Abstruse Blue 2008-02-11 ch 12,	abuseReally enjoyed this, though I read it now instead of when it originally was completed like four years ago. Luke is actually my favorite. ;)
LaylaLivesLoosely 2008-01-22 ch 12,	abusethis was a great read... i really liked the characters themselves and the careful unfolding of events...and i love the whole violin concept. nice work!
gummybaby 2008-01-20 ch 12,	abuseThat was a really sweet story. At first I thought it would just be a light fluffy romance, but it really went deeper. Sure, the cute romance was there, but all the family stuff helped the story feel more rounded and memorable. I have to say my favorite part was the epilogue. I felt real closure with that sort of fast foward move. Overall great story!
Timburr Wulf 2007-09-13 ch 12,	abuseI loved your story, and I think your idea for a prequel is great. I'd love to get better insight into the deeper depths of your characters. --TW--
Gravilove19 2007-06-05 ch 12,	abuseI really enjoyed reading this story. I can't wait to check and see if there is more.
Mitochondriac 2007-01-13 ch 12,	abuseThank you so much for this story! It's beautiful, and I loved it! You've probably heard that before, but seeing as I'm not with you in person (which then I'd have to tackle you in a bone crushing hug and offer you a bowl of oatmeal-WITH ALL THE WORKS!;)while gabbering on insanely fast about all the wonderful details you included and the complete, awe inspiring AWESOMENESS of this incredible hunky-dory work of art that is yours=)! Writing a prequel would be good I think, especially for those who want to know more about how the characters became the way they are in this setting, especially Alex, cause we didnt get a lot of background on him. I did really enjoy reading about Kiara's past though, she's one strong person, along with the tidbita about the party with the closet episode. It's nice to know those things about characters. Yeah, I dont think I've ever typed this much for a review, wow. Thanks again, though I'd find it difficult to enough, continue on, special person that has gained my respect(and admiration, you might as well know) Definitely a fried of mine! Good on You! Rach
Ayakaishi Fei 2007-01-02 ch 12,	abuseI liked this, I really thought it was very sweet - and loved reading about Luke and Alex - I thought their summer love and developing relationship was great. I really liked where you wrote about Luke's very embarassing first kiss - it struck me as such an awful horrible thing to happen, yet at the same time, exactly the sort of things a group of kids who didn't particularly like them would find hilarious. My only small issue, although you did try to address it in your end notes, was the stage at which Kiara miscarried. Most miscarriages happen in the first 12 weeks (3 months) because the baby isn't viable - at 4 months along she wouldn't just bleed - she would actually have to push out the fetus. I was a teenager when I had my first baby, and while of course I agree that its plausible that a 14 year old girl could miscarry a baby. I got pregnant at 18 and managed to give birth to a very healthy boy despite the fact that I was had atrocious eating habits (I ate mc donalds once a day as it was the only thing I could stomach). I didn't mean to ramble, just that you had the notes at the end, and I kinda felt like I should tell you (since I've been there, not just studied it). I think my favourite parts were the interaction between Luke and Alex. I'm not sure if I liked the epilogue, although I'm guilty of the same thing I felt it tied things up maybe a little too neatly? I don't know, I liked knowing what happened, I just felt like it was too concise? I'm not really making sense. You have a wonderful story here, the spelling and grammar is lovely - nothing to detract from the plot, which is simple but sweet and very much enough to keep the reader occupied. The writing style is pleasant the characters are memorable - excellent job overall. :)
