abusenot sure i like this story.
there wasnt enough explaination on how they did things together, or why he liked her, or her problems or anything.
all we knew is she was a depressed heavy smoker who was grieveing over her dead mother. and he was a hockey player that met her on a plane and was fasinsinated by her.

abuseJust finished reading the whole thing.

I kinda had to force myself through the first part of the story, but by the end I was glad I did. It turned out to be a great story about what's there to be found for those with the will to dig deep enough.

A few quibbles with the opening chapters: Shifting perspectives between Noelle and Liam was sorta disorienting. It might have been better just to pick one character's perspective and use their impression of what the other is doing to convey that other character's thoughts.

Also - and maybe this is just as a guy reader - I had trouble feeling too much sympathy for Noelle in those early chapters. All I could think as she kept mistreating Liam was "Wow, what a,"...*ahem*..."female dog." She became more sympathetic later on, but maybe showing early in the story those hints of vulnerability that you don't see till Chapter 6 would make it easier to care about her earlier.

As for Liam, he is a pretty flat character. Admittedly he's not the focus of the story, but did he have to be so gosh darned perfect? Way to make the rest of us guys feel inadequate. :P

But again, overall I really enjoyed the story. I especially liked the "Why stop now?" "Because you've finally reached your breaking point" part. Very well done.

abuseYOU! You're back. Lalalala you're back.

Okay, I'm ruining the mood of the story.

I like it, it fits with the story. I like that she says her mother doesn't define her. There's enough hope at the end without giving all away and making it a perfect fairytale ending. I love this.



PLEASE TELL ME YOU'VE GOT SOME MORE TO FEED ME. I mean, in general, since Phenomena is over. As you know, I love your writing. I've probably said that so many times already, but it's true.


It's me, your constant reviewer, I'm just not signed in. Not an imposter. Although why anyone would want to pose as me, I don't know. I'll let you mull over that one (or not).

abusethis is beautifully simple and extremely easy to connect to which is so important with stories like noelle's. you might be tempted to fatten up the chapters with more events, but i like the way it feels bare. its like a series of portraits and that is amazing and unique.

abuseHm...

Now I know why the next chapter didn't make much sense to me, because I'm an idiot and read it in the wrong order...

This is a pretty good chapter, I like it a lot...

abuseI'm not sure about this chapter...

It's well enough written, but it doesn't really gel with the tone from the rest of the story...

Mind you, it is 4 days since I made it to bed so it could just be me!

abuseI'm very curious to find out more about her mother.

I love the style of this, or maybe it's just how you write? :-P It's got a very poignant mood, but it's demure in expressing it. But not even that, exactly. I can't really explain.

I feel bad for Noelle. In a way, her being alone and closed off reminds me of myself. Mostly before-me, but still now-me sometimes. If that makes sense.

Short, sad. Fits perfectly with the story.


But does she honestly think it's the end?
