lizzlah 2008-06-22 ch 17,	abuseI just want to say that this story gets right down to the heart of it. To me, it shows what real human emotions are during times when you know you're going to loose someone. It shows real, unguarded feelings whether they're good or bad. I'm getting mushy and psychological. xDD Sorry. But I just wanted to let you know that I sincerely enjoyed the story and I can't believe I hadn't read it sooner. :) It was lovely and you write wonderfully.
Espionage In My Shoe 2008-06-09 ch 17,	abuseWow! What a nice idea about the recording! Very nice touch. It made my little worm of dislike (I named him Jorge) go away. :D I don't miss him. But anyways, very nice ending! Very, very nice! I've been curious how you were going to somehow make an end to this touching little novella, and I knew that I never would have been able to do it. But you did! And you did it splendidly! I'm not sure what my stance is on this new Michiko character, but I like her. :) She's sweet, and I'm glad Jae met her, and he sure as heck deserves not to have to live in misery and "I-miss-Claire" for the rest of his life. Pining isn't fun, and I'm glad he seems pretty well done with it. :) Very nice. I am more than satisfied. Shoe.
Espionage In My Shoe 2008-06-09 ch 14,	abuseHm... Wow. A twinge of dislike for Claire has wormed its way into me. Grace is quite right about Claire, and I sympathize (for lack of a better word) with Jae's pain. Claire really is being selfish, I think, even if only a little bit and even if she has "the right" to be. Yes, she's dying, and that really, really sucks, but she should've never said that in front of Jae. Sure, let her feel it as much as she wants if that'll make her happy, but the nice, kind, loving, etc. thing to do would've been to never say such a thing in front of him. -scowl- How rude. (Again, for lack of a better word to replace "rude.") Shoe.
Espionage In My Shoe 2008-06-09 ch 12,	abuseAh! How could anyone hate Grace after that? -sniffle- Jae's right-- she is a lot stronger than I originally thought. Yeah... sorry I haven't been reading/reviewing recently. Gah! -smacks self- Life's getting a lot busier now that I've tangled myself in student government and such. Yuck. But I'm back! Yay! How is it that you write so well? You get inside your characters hearts, let alone their heads. And I didn't spot even a single typo. Glory be! ;) Shoe.
Treblesome Kylie 2008-05-17 ch 17,	abuseThis is truly inspiring. Not only is it yet another one of your great stories, but this has so much deeper meaning. You've captured this well. I particularly liked the ending- how he is comforted and meets a new person, new connection...new life after death...is it ok that I see at least some religious aspect in all of this? Yay! Cheers!
Treblesome Kylie 2008-05-17 ch 16,	abuseThe religious aspect is perfect because I think people really do come down to that question when they are on their death beds. It was like she was examining her conscience...admitting she is scared and not worthy.
Treblesome Kylie 2008-05-17 ch 14,	abusemore to it? good, this is starting to sound like RebeccA!
Treblesome Kylie 2008-05-17 ch 13,	abuseThis was an excellent chapter portraying the true Grace. I love the contrasts: love/hate a friend, scared/jealous of death...it builds on the angst and how torn Grace feels.
Treblesome Kylie 2008-05-17 ch 11,	abuseFrom this chapter I think Jae is scared of his feelings. I love the little vulnerability you put in this strong, egotistical (though not so anymore) man.
Treblesome Kylie 2008-05-17 ch 10,	abuseHere's my question: does he know what love is?
Treblesome Kylie 2008-05-17 ch 9,	abuseI love this chapter. It's so true. You really capture the character and her deepest feelings. She's asking questions about herself that she cannot understand, but the readers can. This has a bit of an angsty side to it, but that's the best way to show feelings. Off to more!
Treblesome Kylie 2008-05-17 ch 7,	abuseSuch intensity! And chemistry! I'll be honest and answer your questions now: I don't think Jae has given them a reason to trust him. But this is just the beginning. I'm reading more- it's great!
Cailin O'Keefe 2008-04-02 ch 17,	abuseYou always get me crying like a baby in need of dangerously large tissues! Hahaha! You are my all-time favorite writer on here, ugh, get published already so I can line my bookshelves with hardbacks and such! ^__^ Michiko is so lovely! There must be a gift chapter from her point of view or something! Ugh, she is so gentle and radiant! And Jae is so adorable with his thoughts, and I love how realistic you paint your characters, even with how they deal with death. Claire's behavior with dying was too much like how I would have reacted...I would want everyone I most love to hate me before I went in the hope that they would not miss me [as stupid and terrible as that sounds]. ~__~; A truly breathtaking story, I love how it ended. I want to turn this into a manga as well...and I swear I haven't forgotten about POGA, honest...I've lost tons of my programs for doing my littly hobby, but hopefully I'll be back on track by the end of this month and I'll be able to at least show you the sketches I've done. ~Do svidanya! ^__^
Cailin O'Keefe 2008-04-02 ch 11,	abuseRereading this because it is truly a beautiful piece, and this chapter alone seems to beckon my complete and full attention. It tears at my heart; it is so devistatingly sad. My favorite lines forever will be: "because he knew that despite the mechanics of it all—the anatomy involved—he had not pierced her core, but somehow it was the other way around. And he could no more make her body whole again than she could un-ravage his heart." Tears are in my eyes every time. Thank you for such beautiful words.
Written 2008-04-02 ch 17,	abuseaddition to my review of the chapter where we actually hear the 'mp3': THAT WAS SO SURREAL, like her voice from the grave. like she hadn't died at all. I forgot to say that, you know. cuz I was reacting to what she said, but I forgot to tell you my initial reaction to the fact that she was speaking at all. I think it was a really great idea and it was in the perfect place. now my review of this chapter: (She shines. She is more than now she is promise and to come. She is Claire’s light but steady and bright, not fleeting.) I think this says so many things without having to like. beat it into us. well done. so, so touching. I love that she "picks up the pieces", even if you didn't mean it like that :) lovely story!
