abuseI am in love with this story. Seriously. I first read it as a guest, and now that I got an account, I read it all over again.

♥Devon so much!

I wish I was Reese. *sigh*. I love cliches. And outdated romance. And guys who are in love with the protagonist for years and years.

Fantastic story, with perfect grammar (hear the grammar freak speaking) and well developed characters. It wasn't boring for even a minute. I loved Reese's ramblings and arguments with herself.

abuseI just read your story, and just wanted to stop by and tell you how much I LOVED it. :D

One thing that I really loved was the fact that the story didn't end when Dev and Reese got together. It's so rare that you find a story that doesn't end with they kissed and lived happily ever after, The End, and even if you do find a story that doesn't end like this, it's completely ruined, because the author doesn't know how to do it.

But I will gladly say that your pulled it off. The humor in this story was amazing, I laughed, I cried, everything. And because of the humor you were able to pull off carrying the story over and not completely boring the reader.

Another thing that I really liked about it was when Reese saw Dev kissing Lisa in the gym. As I was reading, I was sitting there going, "OH, here we go, he's going to see her, she's going to run out, they're going to break up after they finally got together", just as you described in it, typically cliche. But I loved that you didn't do that. The high school setting was cliche enough, (though it turned out good:D), almost every story that I've read on here has been set in High School, and the typical love story always ends up with they get together, finally, she sees him cheating, or he does something, they break up, bla bla bla, but eventually get back together, kiss, make up, the End.

But you didn't do that, which I LOVE, it's SO refreshing to have something new. I get so tired of reading the same story all over again, except with different names.

I don't know if you have read the story Don't Make A Scene, by SamanthaNicole (I think), but she also does the same thing. Instead of making the climax something to break them up, she makes the climax to be something that draws them together SO much, and makes you completely fall in love with story.

One more thing that I wanted to mention. I would have REALLY loved it if there were a sex scene in this. I read your deleted scenes and the one from the morning after the party was the closest thing to it, and it didn't even make the story. The whole time I was reading, I kept expecting it to happen, the scene outside the gym where they're kissing in the rain, I though for sure they were fixing to do it right there. And with as much passion that the story has, I think it would only be natural to go just a little further. And honestly I was disappointed when it didn't happen.

We know the fact that Reese is a virgin, and I'm guessing that Dev was suppose to be, but they both declare their love for one another, long before the story is really over. But I think it would really benefit the story to give it this scene. Throughout the story, most of the "affection" between them is somehow interrupted, so to have a scene where they are alone, maybe in her house when her parents and Jared are off somewhere and they make love.

But I think an important part in this is that it's not interrupted, as I've mentioned most of their intimate moments are. So they spend one super hot night together, he stays over they wake up next to each other in her bed,...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to tell you how to write you're story, I just really think that this would be a very good addition, at least in my opinion. But of course it would have to be a VERY passionate scene or it could completely ruin it...

I don't know, I was just thinking this while I was up the entire night reading it :D, and I though maybe my opinion could help.

abuseI loved this. A bit stretched out and at times, kind of annoying to read Reese's dialogue, but overall, very good. The epilogue in Devon's perspective was nice...you can tell he's wise and mature. =)

Congrats on your work!

abuseFirst of all, I wanted to say congratulations on being SKOW nominated. That's huge! Anyway, I'm reviewing for more than one reason and that reason is a sequel. Now, don't stop reading here because I'm not asking you if you're going to make a sequel, I'm asking if you want a sequel. Now, I bet you're wondering 'Well, how am I going to get a sequel if I don't write it?'. That, my dear, is where I come in. I would like to write a sequel for TCC only because it is one of my most favorite stories on FictionPress and I've been thinking of ideas for a sequel. Um... this review is what I'm going to send to you to see if you like the way I write. If you don't want a sequel, that's fine with me, but if you do, I just want to let you know that it might take a while for it to come up but once it does I'll update it once (ifnot more) every day. It will be long (not too long) and the chapters won't be so short that it irritates the readers to death. Oh, by the way, it will only take a while because I like to write the whole story before I put it up, only to make sure I don't forget about it. But the day I finsh it goes right up. Anyway, e-mail me back with your answer and if you say yes we can work out more details but it's fine if you don't want a sequel.:)
Sincerely
