Really well written, I don't think it needs anything. Okay maybe an elaboration from between that summer and his concert. Cause I am curious. But love both of them. Great job. >_

This is a beautiful story. I agree with other reviewers though, don't rewrite. Do different POV or sequel. There is a sweetness to the story that I wouldn't want you to risk losing.

If you get into writing again, post your work, I would like to see what else is in your head.

I saw that this story was older and wasn't going to leave a review but then I saw your profile and you said you still read the reviews so I'll leave you one.

I like the story the way it is so don't rewrite. I made the mistake of doing that to one of my stories once (wrote like when I was 15 and found again when I was 20) The entire story ended up changing because I had changed so much. Instead of rewriting it you could always have the story told from Alex's POV.

Anyway the story was just what i was looking for and it made me smile.

Wow. This story was really quite beautiful. I loved how you named his new violin Sasha, that was cute :)

Lovelovelove it ^__^

I'd love a prequel ^^

oh god! i just read your profile please please please don't take this down or change it in any way i love Summers Gone i've read this probably 5 times (even though i dont think ive ever reviewed it before whoops)and i hate it when people redo their stories when they're perfect just as they are this is really fantastic and anyway because your older now doesnt mean you have to erase your teenage writing, the way this is now is a tribute to the way you've developed as a writer erm or sometthing like that anyway
bye
:P

I got to chapter then and I swear I almost died. I thought that was the end!
Thank god you wrote the Epilogue, you tied it up nicely at the end.

I apperciated the Author's notes, I like to know how other people devolope their characters and such, because I am a freak.

The last sentence was beautiful, nice job.

Okay, so I know that you wrote 'Summer's gone' ages ago, but hey! It IS your story, you don't forget something you create do ya?
I thought this was absolutely awesome and quite real. I mean, even the ending was quite reflective of the whole story (like the parents splitting and still being self-centered.
Only thing I was kinda iffy about was the whole becoming a great violinist and actress thing. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for them, but then I got to thinking about just how many people are in that business and how hard it really is to make it in the big league. ANyhoo, I still think they had real potential with Luke being super awesome and good at improv and his sister having been someone else for 4 years of her life anyway.

The whole miscarriage thing and the parents being great people but bad parents was so real, I was like '. .. .. .'

The ending was happy happy, really fits in with the rest of the story. I love Alex & fly. There's no way NOT to love them.

A prequel sounds good. I wonder if you've already put it up though. I also wonder whether you even use fp anymore. hmm..

I found your story very cute, and enjoyable. I liked it a lot.
The only thing I can say is... perhaps everything tied itself up too perfectly?

In any case, thank you for writing and sharing your story with us.
:]

So I basically loved the entire thing. It's just one of those stories you can't help but going: aw at at the end. I do wish it was a bit longer though :/. Ah, well, lovely story

I love this story. The character's were original and believable, the relationships were well thought out, and it was just an all-around good read.

I have to say that this story was absolutely beautiful. There's a certain quality to your writing, a little quirk that I can't explain but I completely adore. And I loved the way you hadled everything in this story: the characterisations of everyone; the domestic problems weren't overblown and dramatic; and the children that managed to be cute and not annoying. What's more, I was ecstatic that Luke and Kiara reconcilled at the end and it was handled fabulously.

I think this was an amazingly well written story and I enjoyed reading it. Luke has a definite voice throughout the entire story, and Alex is an enjoyable character. I think I like Luke more though. :)

It's really a cute story. I like it and I think it ended nicely. I'd like to see a prequel or sequel, but then again I think the story is pretty much complete.

no offence, but i kinda find it abit bland; or izzit supposed to be that way? just suggesting.
