Really, really well done.

(re-read this ending)

Beautiful & simple chapter ending. Beautiful.

cute first chapter! your writing is very professional and polished. too often background info is slow or boring, but yours was really excellent. good job! :)

Good ending. I liked this fic alot.

Sad scene, nice ending. Well written.

Wonderful ending. Nice portrayal of Sally as antagonist there :)

p.s. One thing I noticed was that the characters didn't seem too drunk although at one point there's mention of having drunk too much. Ah well, in the name of plot then..

I'm scrambling for an adj on this. It's not perfect, but it's beautiful. Good chapter.

I'm really enjoying reading this. 'I’ve slept with three men in my life, which I don’t think is too high or low a number when you consider the times we’re living in.' That could be considered quite low for that time/even now & at that age. Anyway. I really like reading this. It's nicely written and is interesting.

It's a very good first chapter. Downright sucks you in.

'“Luke,” I answer her question after a moment’s hesitation, “my brother-in-law.”

She nods. “I thought that’s who it would be. Have you told Sally her husband’s turned up yet?”'

This part - about marriage - made me think. It's serious & sad and puts a slant on it, rather than jsut the sister's boyfriend. Cold statement works well.

Good.

Fantastic! This is truly an enjoyable story;)

Well I'm glad that it ended up as a happy ending. The plot progressed at a good rate and it wasn't just endless flirtation and frustration. It was more realistic than that, which is great.
