abuseoh my god, NOEL! you don't step in the way of a boy's fist. It's just not smart.

Anyway, this story is set in Australia, yeah? Which makes me love it even more, because there's a school system I actually understand!

Tyler reminds me of Sebastian from Cruel Intentions a little bit. Ever since he called Noel 'sweet pea'. But I can also understand the resemblance to Chuck from Gossip Girl. And I see a tiny bit of Blair in Noel actually. Anyway, ranting..

Please update soon. I can't believe Tyler punched Noel =( even if it was completely Noel's fault.

abuseAh! Sorry! I just read the last chapter/authoress's note of CITR and NOW then I know-the siblngs/switched babies thing is not in the plot here. =_=" Pardon my mistake,I was careless. *Oh great, I'm sounding like Tyler -_-"*
ps. By the way,here are some last names starting with 'D' I can think of: Durchame,Denver,Drake,Dash,Dartwood,Delmonte,Derrick.

abuseOMGOSH WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?!?!??!? O_O That was intense. Was there something in the camera about Noel and Tom? Wow, update update UPDATE! hahaha, your style of writing has a highclass sort of wit to it and also a wide vocabulary of snarky one-liners, very funny and interesting, ^_^ I'm keeping my eye on this one. Erm, only question I have is: Is CITR before or after WONTW? And aren't Noah and Kendall siblings? ps. I like it that Noel is a 'bitchy' character who is also very,very likeable. ;)
happy ever afterxx

abuseHey..
Loved this chapter - the perfect mix of drama and action. Would of loved another pash between Noel and Tyler, but I'll wait like a good reader should. I noticed you changed your summary. I did like to old one, but this one is great too. Just a small thing, but can you recap your last chapter or the story so far at the top of new chapters. It's just that with the time between chapters (not that you take really that long. Your much better that most other authors) and the things that happen in my own life I sometimes forget soem of the events that happened previously in your still (memory of a goldfish - I blame it on my mother).

Anyway, Tyler's raw honesty was a really great moment and probably the highlight of this chapter. I love what you've done with him. His complexity is really starting to emerge, and as a reader I can't help but be curious about him and want to know more.

That said, I still feel like I need to be connected with Noel though. The start of this chapter did do some of this, and I know as a reader I need to be patient, but I want to know more about what she thinks about herself and her own situations. Ah! I know, I know must be patient, and that IS her characterisation, but I will continue hoping. She has such great insight into everyone else's life and positions herself as a saviour when really, she doesn't look like she can even save herself. A brilliant flaw in your protagonist I will admit.

No balloons for me? Well I'll steal some anyway! =D
Good luck and have fun seeing the fratellis,

abusegah!! so i haven't read the rewrite but only ch12. Long time no see hey. Hope you did well on your exams.

To the name change thing, all i have to say is NO! I love the durden. What's in a name? I'm pretty sure for me a rose would not smell as sweet if it was called a tulip. Frankly changing the name changs the whole character. In fact why don't you make an acknowledgement between fight club and the similarity of durden/durton. I am sure Tyler won't be amused but he's tough, he can take it!! heheheh

abuseHey!
I thought you dropped off the side of Sydney harbour or something! Anyways... another fab chappie and let me tell you the plot does indeed thicken. The flashbacks were a nice touch, they gave some real insight into the relationships of the characters before hand and some depth into the fallout between Noel and Em. The mankini - hilarious. I am trés looking forward to the drinking game. Is it just me or do they always end up with lots of embarrassment and lots of action (possibly in more than one way! =P joking of course. everything is strictly business for Noel)? It was great that you mixed in Noel's family and her friends. My family has our own Betty as well actually. It gives us lots of shit, but unlike Tyler who could chuck her out of the window, my mother would probably stab me with her much beloved screw driver till within an inch of my life.

Well, that's about it. I still adore your story and hope you can update soon. However, I do feel your exam pain. I've finished most of them, but I've got two more and am currently procastinating by readin this chappie.

Trés Bien, muchos gracias and all that jazz,
