You hated it? I loved it. The writing and flow of it was so wonderful. I suppose that Carissa's character could've been better developed, but I really thought that you did a good job with her. She's quiet with a sense of humor. I like it. You also did a good job with keeping her original. She's not the cliche' bookworm/good-girl/loner. She has her quirks, and she's not easily labeled. You did a great job with this story. Thanks for all of the effort and time that you put into it.
