i just re-read this from the beginning, and it feels better than before. i had missed mimi, i think. (:

aslkfj i am kind of teetering between robin roe and seth, but idk. i actually can't make my mind up to which i like more. heh. i really hope you update soon, in any case! (:

I've always thought that Robin Roe was just the fantasy dude. You know, the one you squeal over and are dazzled by, but also the one you know is fictional and you're not at all serious about. Basically, he's the one that's too good to be true. And now, well now, I have to say I hate Robin Roe. He thinks she's cute. He enlisted the help of SEAN in the letter-writing. I can't help but think he doesn't deserve her. I like Sean so much better. He's more real, for one. And I get the feeling Mimi is starting to notice that her image of Robin Roe doesn't exactly match the real thing.

OH MY GOD SHE'S GOING TO END UP WITH SETH

ROBIN IS THE SECRET ADMIRER BUT SETH'S THE ONE NARRATING! AND ITS GOING TO BE SETH AND MIMI IN THE END BECAUSE YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE SETH THERE. ROBIN IS THE "PERFECT" GUY BUT SETH IS THE "RIGHT" GUY FOR MIMI! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS

OHMYGOD I CAN'T BREATHE

THIS IS ALWAYS, ALWAYS THE WORST THING ABOUT THESE STORIES! I HATE IT WHEN SHE HAS TO CHOOSE BETWEEN TWO ABSOLUTELY PERFECT GUYS! I HATE IT THAT YOU BOTH EQUATED THEM AND NOW IT IS PERFECTLY IMPOSSIBLE TO CHOOSE

Sorry I had caps lock on. I'm just a little miffed with what's happening. But all is good! I love this story and I missed reading this. Please CONTINUE AND UPDATE SOON!

OMG. It's Seth, isn't it? I really hope it's Seth. Robin's awesome but he's too...you know...I don't think he could be her "Prince". Methinks it's Seth who wrote the notes, as in they were his thoughts, not Robin's. I distintly remember the "mystery guy" saying he'd noticed her since grade eight and YET Robin said Seth had to point her out to him. Wouldn't he have known it was her? Hm...it should be Seth. Anyways...great chapter! Waited for a long update so I kind of forgot the whole story so I went back and re-read the entire thing and wow. It's so effing good. I love the relationship that Liv, Jess, and Mimi have as friends. It's awesome. I love your entire story and how Mimi has developed during the story. Keep it up humbug!

Wah wah wah~ An update. It's so awesome! It was Robin who wrote the letters. Mm but it makes it seem as if Seth is the mystery narrator. Wah~ This is so good.

Oh no! At first, when Seth was introduced I was a little wary because I was desperately hoping that Robin was going to be her end-of-story fairytale man... but now I'm hooked on Seth, and she's with Robin! And... and! Oh well... Looking forward to the next chapter

LOL I just... love this story! I was so excited to get an update from this, and I have to admit I forgot some details here and there in the waiting period, but the refresher was nice and I was happy to get right back into the hang of the story.

I just love how you word some things, like: "I’m not surprised the boy is socially omnipotent, because he reads body language and conversational cues like he never studies anything else." LOL, that was just brilliant and funny and cute and I liked it a lot.

"I, however, am so super fly that I stop him in his tracks with an uppercut to his dastardly palm. I move so fast I am practically invisible."

-LOL, Mimi is just... SO adorable haha.

"He says, and means it, because Seth is allergic to trivial hyperbole."

-There are just so many clever phrases in this chapter haha. There were more I wanted to point out but I had to stop myself. Just-such great word choice overall.

Wait, maybe it's been too long, but I don't remember who said "You’re the most incredibly gorgeous girl I’ve ever seen", was that the note-writer?

I think Mimi and Seth are really sweet together. I don't know, I like Robin Roe, but Seth is-more her equal, not that Robin Roe is above her, but that Seth kind of puts them both on equal footing.

Kevin is characterised really well. It would be just like a guy to assume that a girl's phone is not working and not get concerned when the girl's trying to make a statement lol! :P

"Truly, I can’t dispute this."

-LOL you're just making me laugh almost non-stop. I'm really enjoying this chapter.

"I fear them dreadfully, I treasure them breathlessly."

-This didn't make me laugh, obviously, but I thought it was also well-worded.

AHA! I had hoped/expected/thought that it maybe was Robin. Yay! But... oh, complex. :X I do like Robin a lot. But I also do like Seth. Oh my.

Aww, that was sweet of Seth to help Robin out. And so I guess Robin's feelings about Mimi haven't been a mystery to him at all, this whole time. And I guess he also noticed her first. And I kind of have a feeling that he and Mimi will end up together. I don't know how I feel, though. I DO like Robin a lot.

I don't know, I think I'm glad that Mimi said yes to Robin because... I feel like they could work. I don't know.

"He grins a particularly wide and unusually symmetrical grin."

-Aww, Seth. He's adorable and I do love him too haha. Oh no, what are you doing to us?

"Oh hai, pretty pulse, thank you for providing life to such a beautiful specimen of a human being."

-I keep "aww"-ing and "LOL"-ing haha.

Robin really is a sweetheart, though. He's just-very thoughtful and considerate and yeah, pretty amazing. Okay, so just letting out one fear of mine-I really hope that, even if Mimi eventually ends up with Seth, the reason for things ending with Robin is not because he has some fatal flaw that she cannot stand. I've seen that a lot in stories, but for some reason I feel like that's a cop-out. Why can't the main character see a flaw that may be forgivable, but choose differently, etc.? I don't really know what I'm saying, but yeah, mini-ramble.

I'm guessing that last part is Seth? Poor Seth; he's adorable too. I kind of wish he said something about Mimi being gorgeous in her own right, but I don't blame him for not saying that. ;)

Sorry for the long, rambling review, but basically: I enjoyed this chapter so much! As you can tell, I laughed a lot and had a lot of fun reading it. I'm glad some of the mysteries are unraveling and I look forward to seeing how much further you'll take everything. Since I feel like the plot's advanced so much and it's still only chapter 11, I'm just curious-about how many chapters are you planning? Or is this just a go-with-the-flow type of thing?

Anyway, thanks for the update, it was great! I can't wait for the next one. :)

Loved it, loved it, LOVED IT! It feels like it's been ages since the last time I read something that made me squirm and giggle and want to dance to really lame 90's music because I feel so elated and shiny. I've been a follower of yours for years and I'm absolutely convinced that this is my favourite anything-I've-ever-read-on-the-internet-ever. Please do the world a favour and keep on truckin'.

I can't remember if I've ever reviewed for any or your stories or not, but I guess it doesn't really matter. I just wanted to tell you that your writing is totally awesome. Mimi is so realistic; she can't be defined by one label, as she said. And it makes sense.

I wasn't expecting Robin Roe to be the writer. I thought it was gonna be Seth...but then the last section cleared things up. I'm not sure if you meant to do this, but the story is reminding me a lot of Cyrano de Bergerac. Which just makes it all the more amazing. I seriously love reading your stories. I look forward to the next chapter, whenever it comes.

-Eveiveneg

OMG THIS IS AMAIZING

i am like her

-sigh- I can see the pallid clouds of drama crawl ever so closely to the horizon already. Makes for a very interesting story though _ Man I so didn't see that coming...or maybe I forgot what I was predicting...? Anyways, you made me laugh, definitely a good sign. You may have month long gaps but man you can deliver! Wish I could do that.

Wow you updated after I thought this story had died (and I love you for it).

Secretly, I guess, I was kind of hoping for the notewriter to be Seth. I mean, I didn't really expect Robin to be the writing type of person. But then, you DID say Seth helped.

That last segment was about Seth right? About secretly liking Mimi, but not having the natural charisma and ease of his cousin to show it? I feel bad for him.

I don't know. What can I say? Your writing style is so indescribable. You take the things that no one really notices, the bits and pieces from the edges, and somehow bring them together into something holistic and amazing. And it somehow fits perfectly with the quasi-fairytale them you have going on.

Update soon.

Yay! This story is still alive! This was a great chapter, it gave me butterflies while Mimi was waiting for her note-writer. I hope you continue this!~C.S.

Ugh ugh ugh stop it with the end-of-the-year "us"-in-a-time-capsule thing. You're going to kill me dead.

"She’s going through a ritual mourning process. Detaching her libido from her love-object. Burning shit."

xD

I like the dialogue here in the letting-go-stories scene, the very realistic, "Your FEELINGS." "I dunno." "Really?" "Fine."

“Poor baby. There are so many boys circling around your life right now.”

I don’t mention Seth.

Liked that part, can't explain why.

"I can practically be myself around him! I am becoming self-actualized!

He laughs and leans his elbow briefly atop my shoulder. His breath is warm against my neck. I am not self-actualized at all."

I love this, BUT you're a Meg Cabot plagiarist, BUT I won't tell on you if you won't tell on me :-P

Ugh, Creepy Collin. I understand very well the super-awkwardness of seeing shit like that go down and being unable to intervene. You wish there were a universal code, a sign language among girls, so that you could sign "are you okay?" or she could sign "PLEASE HELP ME," or vice-versa.

"(Buggering fuck, I wouldn’t admit this with an AK-47 at my temple, but did I pluck my upper lip recently?)"

xD

I love this, the awkwardness on the coffee-date. This part especially: “It’s nearly 5, and—” and you’re really attractive and I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna!—“I have some things I have to do before tomorrow.” That made me giggle. We've all been there.

"lurking like a sketchball" is a good line xD

“Uh, ha!” I wheeze. “Psh! Uh, you are totally getting into soap opera mystery character right now! Ahem!” More gasps and desperate cries for help from my suddenly constricted lungs.

Her awkwardness could not be more real or believable. I love it. You are so good at this!

"Okay, not that nicely. I mean, I’m wearing my favorite pair of jeans. And a pretty cute top. But it’s not like I’m wearing anything new."

Hahahaha, classic!

“Hey now, if there was ever a monster who knew what he wanted, Cookie Monster is him.”

Truly, I can’t dispute this.

You are so much fun. I love this.

You capture her freakout in the anticipation so WELL! I can really feel it. You write it better than anyone else could.

"And then I wailed, with a horrible sense of my own failure as a human being, “I pantsed you!”"

So much love. You have no idea.

Ooh, Seth helped. That...makes lots and lots of sense. Cyrano de Bergerac style.

And now...she has a boyfriend. Which is going to make it really, really difficult when Seth decides to come out with HIS obvious complicated love for her. You know, just sayin'.

Robin is good at being a boyfriend. I'm sure there is something to be said for your first being way more experienced and chill than you. That was certainly not my experience. Ben and I were a hot mess. But there's something to be said for that, too.

And ooh, there is poor Seth-baby at the end. Well, this is what you get for being a crazyface manperson who can't behave consistently to SAVE HIS LIFE. *is bitter*

But yes, darling, this was all fabulous and I wish this review were longer but you may have noticed I just wrote you like a five-page email xD so we will discuss this more in-depth later! Love and hugs and whatnot, and update again soon!

i love both of the boys.

they're so cute?

haha. i don't know how to explain it.

another good chapter.
