I'm guessing this story would eventually end with Iris and Owen together while Kate and Sam as well.

It seems that Iris and Owen had romantic feelings for each other. This may be a bad thing for Kate if she and Owen will continue with their marriage. Thanks.

It is great to read stories about people who have realistic, selfish wishes, who are egoistic. I really loved your story, it is always nice to read a story, the author of which is not afraid to twist the plot in a realistic way.

I don't know what you're talking about! I know that it's rather late, but better late than never, right? This was a great story with a bittersweet ending. I love stories with bittersweet endings. The only question I have is: what about Kate and U.S. Immigration? But, all in all, it is a pretty fuckin great story.

Hey there! I'm Rosie from A Drop of Romeo and I'm happy to say that your story has been added to our archive, under the category of 'Miscellaneous'! Here's your review:

Rosie Thinks: This story, as the title suggests, starts off with 'The Marriage Cliche' - where both parties aren't in love but get married out of convenience. I've seen this cliche so many times that I was a bit hesitant to start this, but this story is definitely a twist on the norm.

Owen and Kate are just friends, but when Kate's in jeopardy of being deported and Owen's being labelled a playboy (bad for business), they decide to marry. It isn't done spur-of-the-moment, completely unrealistically either - instead, the marriage happens for reasons and in a way that it is realistic. The fact that they are friends before they marry puts an interesting twist on the whole story and something that I didn't expect at all.

I wouldn't really say that this story has one main character - I felt like it had four, but they're all pretty well developed and not stereotypical. This story wasn't overly emotional or anything dramatic like that, but it makes for a really lovely read that flowed yet was still complex. Friendship is also a focus in this story and the two romances that developed were just downright beautiful.

Dear Random Acts of Authorship,

I read this story a while back but didn't review it. I just wanted to thank you for sharing a good story and to say 'I remember you!'. I was lucky enough to have read it after it was completed, and I'm glad that you felt like you learned a lot about writing in the process. :) I hope that you continue to keep writing, because I'll keep reading!

cheers,

Ellie

"I just feel like I'm stuck in a really bad sitcom. And it's probably a rerun, too."

hi, I know I'm nitpicking but I'm pretty sure you can't go out of Cambridge with a physics degree. Their course is natural sciences so you leave with a MSci or a bachelor.

The only reason I know is that it annoys tons of students every year who want to do a pure science course and not just specialise a year or two in.

Nice start though, good work on your characters, very likable but very human :)

I really enjoyed this! It was well paced and i fell in love with both brothers!
