Reviews for Nutmeg aka Coffee Shop Story |
---|
![]() ![]() Wow! This is a fantastic story. es, it needs to be edited, but the plot is just too good! And Drake is my new dream guy. If he were real, I would definitely jump him. Seriously. (Fangirl squeal). Okay, what I really liked about this story was its pace and how it covered all aspects of Alora's life- uni, work, family, boyfriend, friends, etc. and that it just didn't focus on Alora and the suit. I didn't find it slow and the epilogue is great for me- I can imagine the characters' happily-ever-after any which way I want too. Most hilarious moment in the story was Drake's reaction when Alora said she was dithering between an old T-shirt and her birthday suit. Oh, priceless. I was at work when I was reading that scene and I just burst out laughing, and drew the attention of practically my entire department! Nutmeg aka Coffee Shop Story is marvellous just the way it is, in my opinion. It should be an fp great on editing. May you be always inspired to come out with such brilliant pieces. All the best! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Omg this is so cute :) I wish you'd make a sequel it's just so adorable :) I was so sad when I was scrolling and it ended ): love the story! |
![]() ![]() ![]() i actually love this ending! drake chickening out is just so...drake! :D i really loved this story! a complete rollercoaster for sure (with alora how could it be anything but?) but quite enjoyable! thanks for all your hard work! :) |
![]() ![]() ![]() I've been following Nutmeg ever since it was called the coffee shop story and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm glad you stuck with it for 7 years and still the passion for writing is still there :) Anyway, throughout the novel I always thought that the romance between them was very slow. There are moments of when you kind of see Drake being jealous but for me, the impact of his feelings for Alora wasn't really shown until Alora asked him out. I'm not a romance buff but I do read a lot of romance books and only until chapter 38 do you see why this story was categorized under romance. Your epilogue is quite tame and I suppose it's ok. I can see that there is a relationship between the two of them. Why didn't you actually show him proposing to her? Why, you've put another cliffhanger there! I don't know whether to be pleased or disappointed! I liked how you update after a long time but you never really allowed closure a romance novel really has! Anywho, that's my thoughts and I don't mean to offend you at anyway. And I hope you are able to read my comment. Thanks, AC |
![]() ![]() ![]() God, I love this story. I had to read it over a good amount of time, given life is busy and on a tight schedule, but I enjoyed Alora and Drake's story, and I was laughing and smiling most of the way. I found this story a while back when it was first written, and was so surprised how well I enjoyed the snark flavored wit or the editting. Thank you for posting such a well written plot with originality and such refreshing humor! |
![]() ![]() ![]() well written, enjoy it a lot |
![]() ![]() ![]() Hello, I'm enjoying your story, but found two errors here that you might want to know about: "...shoved her hand into her hands" the first "hand" should be "head" "I would sat that, at least" the "sat" should be "say" Now back to reading |
![]() ![]() ![]() I have read and re-read this story so many times. It is always and truly a great delight to immerse myself into this most interesting world! If you wrote a sequel I would not be opposed, since I feel that life for Alora and Drake could only get more interesting as the time passed... But then again Im just a crazed fan who doesn't like to see her favorite story end! |
![]() ![]() ![]() I love the story. While some of the back story of maybe Xander or Drake's younger brother could've been fleshed out more, I enjoyed and identified with the characters. However, it doesn't seem like the characters are done yet. It feel incomplete for some reason. Otherwise, it was quite fun. I loved the interjection of Eliza. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I just feel like that was a really awkward way to end the story. Maybe an epilogue would help? Ooh! Like a marriage proposal? ;) |
![]() ![]() ![]() I just wanted to let you know first, amazing story! Sure, it's rough ands needs to be edited, but my stories are like that too. You seem to have captured the right essence of humanity. Some authors make their stuff to jokey and silly, while others are formal. You got it right in th middle. Also, great dialogue. A little stiff at times with the grandparents and mother, but I suspect that was on purpose. And lastly, I wanted to ask you if your mother is like hers. That's all. Keep up da good work! |
![]() ![]() aww I want more fluffy endings... maybe a series of epilogues, like crazy girl night out, drake meets the family... OMG Lori totally didn't meet drakes mum and sister... and paris... sorry it was good I enjoyed it immensely! |
![]() ![]() ![]() *Swoons* I positively love them. And Drake is just soooo so very wonderful and I want someone like him. The ending was very sweet and leaves you with the happy knowledge of the possibility for more. So cute! The sibling relationship was hysterical. I would've liked to have read about Drake's mom and sister's move and meeting his little Nutmeg for the first time though. The beginning of the story was fairly well edited but the last few chapters need a little bit more work. Really lovely story though. I love you're characters and I'm favoriting your story so others will read about the magnificent suit and artist duo. Lovely story! Crimson |
![]() ![]() Hey there! I know it's been a really long time since you wrote the story so I don't know if you get this review, but I just wanted to let you know that I really, really love your story and it's the sweetest romance I have ever read. The best part about it is that it's a true romance; they don't just rush into the love but it's evolved through a friendship which was so so nice to read. You're really talented and I your characters have so much depth. I really loved reading this gorgeously written and unique story. Much love. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I agree with Mima, the ending is a bit anti-climatic, but I think is a story about growing up, loosing youthful misconceptions, prejudices. I absolutely loved it. It deserves a sequel, you have lots of material for it, all those details about Drake and his family can be explored. |
