wow that was great. you really did well in showing logans journey. well done

and im glad you didnt show prom and livys story etc.. it would be too soppy. i like the way you did this!

Hey Myrika. I've read this story and Against all odds several times and I wa sthinking that maybe you should do a story about the future of the couples since almost everyone in the stories found somebody. Maybe you can do something like one of the couples is getting married and everyone is there and some of the couples are broken up and in the end everyone gets back together. Of course there has to be some drama, like maybe the wedding almost being called off because someone is suspected of cheating. Yeah but anyway that is agreat story. Keep up the good work

I just went back and read this story again after two years. And yes, I still love it!

this is even better than AAO!

Aw... - That ending sentence was simply perfect. :D

simply amazing.

I feel so ashamed - I think this is the first and only Myrika work I've ever read and I've been on this site for what? Nearly three years now? I'm a sucker for angst, so I had to read this.

But man, even though I don't know the history between Ryan and Ral and about 95 percent of these characters, I loved this story. How many times I wantd to cuddle Ryan and how many times I wanted to cuddle Logan. You twisted my heart so many times with this, with your simple yet effective wording.

Perfect! Hopefully I may be able to write half as well as you!

I just got done reading this. Awesome! I loved it!

good story!

i loved your story of course... but i'd like to know why you wrote it in third person instead of first [i understand that it only told the story from logan's pov] but why didn't you write it in first person since it's basically about logan? i really liked the story regardless (i'm just curious)... logan was one of the characters that i loved along side his mom. it was good to see what made him the way he was.

You are a god. I love you. Thank you for creating the amazingness that is Logan Henderson. It was a brilliant ending. You kept Logan's tone all the way through. Sure he's changed, but he'd very much the same person he was right at the start and the tone never dropped. Your consistency is amazing. I know how difficult is to keep a story up. You have so many going and yet you seem to manage them all with an ease that frankly makes me jealous. haha. But no, you're amazing and you deserve all the praise you get. congratulations on another story completed!

Good for Ryan for breaking it off with Ral. She was really annoying me all throughout this story. But wow, what an emotional and dramatic breakdown. Somehow I don't think Noelle will be stupid enough to let everything go. You're right about choosing her over Livvy. She wouldn't have been able to deal with all of this, but Noelle can definitely pull through. I wonder how she's dealt with everything, though.

*sigh* I still love Logan. Men like him make my world spin. Shame I don't know many of them.

I actually love Logan, despite his being a bonafide dickhead. His angst is perfect. It's so strange seeing Ryan through such a different perspective, though. I feel sorry for him, running after his brother trying to see what the bloody hell's going on. In a way, it is pathetic, but I guess that's just because I'm seeing it through Logan.

Also, the Logan/Noelle interaction at the Japanese restaurant was amazing. I love what they have going on already. Definitely not tooth-achingly sweet, but interesting enough to add flavour to the atmosphere.

Amazing.

it all comes back to this.

I find your stories rather brilliant, all of them, if I do say so myself, but every time - I just come back down to this.

I think I'm obsessed - but I know it's helped. Every time I'm in a hell hole I read this and it's a lifesaver.

It had times when it had me laughing the way stories rarely make anyone laugh, and we've already established his panic attacks get a bit too close for comfort. I must be crazy since I use the story for therapeutic purposes as well as entertainment. And you know what they say about people needing therapy. (well, I say they have 'baby, she's got issues')

One day, when I get rich and famous, if all else fails - I'll pay for your self-publishing expenses just to grab a hold of this baby.

And yeah, I'll get rich and famous. You're older, I have less talent - but that's just how it works - life sucks :)

After reading EHL a bazillion times - I've finally noticed how little you focused on the visual.

I know I've imagined Logan as a blond and Noelle having black hair until the second time I read it, though it's pretty obvious now that I've switched it around.

You say how he perceives everything, but not how it looks, and I find myself amazed how you managed to do it without anyone noticing. Roughly put.

I was wondering if he ran stiffly or drunkenly, from the party, if his chin was up or looking at the floor exclusively - and I know I wouldn't have noticed it if not for the number of times I read it. It's madness, I really am awed. It just doesn't seem to matter.

oh, and I was wondering what you meant when Noelle told Logan 'uncultured oaf' for not reading 'The art of war' in Japanese. Since he's Chinese, isn't it like asking someone if they read Dostoevsky in French? O.o Yeah, sorry for the randomness.

to tell you the truth -

'The other man tossed his napkin on the table. "Don't you turn your back on me!"

"Whoops. I'd say I'm sorry, except I'd be lying. And since I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth, so help me God - I'm not sorry." '

This still amazes me :D. Wild, man. And I loved the eating contest Logan put in such a nice perspective regarding Noelle, cats and dogs. :) Makes me laugh incredulously every time, regardless of the serious spots its in.

And I love how you managed to make yourself bash Ryan and Raleigh so much even when it's obvious you loved them enough to write their stories and include them all over again (not that it wasn't inevitable).

"For four months, Logan had watched Ryan and Raleigh wallow in faux teen angst." - and among other things, I think you kinda bashed yourself there. But hey. Looks neat :)

Yeah.. Now I've just realized that just by my reviews of this piece you could know me better than I'm comfortable with so, lol.. yeah.. I'm finished with these random statements about your story. - bye-bye :)

Okay, I'm actually crying now. I am crying, tears are running down my face. I am overjoyed by the outcome of this story, and of AAO. They are both publishable, award ready stories that make my smile, laugh, frown, and now, cry! I am so happy about Noelle and Logan, they are perfect, and they do complete each other, in a way. As do Math and Livy :), Ral and Ryan, who I am so happy got back together, and honestly, this story was all around amazing. I hate thinking its over, it's like Breaking Dawn all over again! No, this was amazing, and I love it. Continue writing, and I hope to read you again in the future. Kudos.

Love, Dani (Read my stories! :?)
