You know in the past I've always been sceptical when people said they have got so sucked into a story they didn't realise they were up to the last chapter that had been uploaded. Now I renounce my cynical ways. It is totally possible to be so into a story you don't realise you've reached the end until you go to press that little 'next' button and it's not there. I am now living proof of that. I can't believe I ran out of chapters to this, I was so smug reading the little notes saying that you were sorry for the pauses in updating because I was secure in the knowledge that I had plenty of chapters to read. Karma I guess.

Sorry, I'm going to try and focus this review now. I love this story so very, very much and I rarely say that. Usually I prefer to say I like something because love is too strong a word. Not in this case, however. It is unapologetically fun. I think it's amazing how you make an implausible storyline completely plausible with your characters and superb writing style. It's brilliant how you've manipulated the chapters so they work by not being linear and instead jumping back and forth.

The only character I have a little trouble with is Mr mob boss himself. He doesn't scare me at all, he seems a little too calm. But I guess you're writing him as 'nuts scary' which involves more suspense than actual out and out violence so I should just shut up. Your grammar and spelling are spot on (not that I'm overwhelmingly brilliant in that department so I'm not one to judge). The only thing I noticed was that in chapter 15 Lana said: 'I just have to trust that you’re not a psychotic serial killer with a pension for pregnant women?' and I was wondering if you meant penchant instead of pension. It's a funnier line with it as pension, because I laughed out loud at the idea of a nutter who collects money as a pregnant woman, so maybe you should leave it as it is!

I guess that was my slightly negative paragraph and I feel really bad for writing one because I hate getting them but I also find them really useful in fixing mistakes. Or sometimes just becoming aware of them because there are plenty of times when I haven't bothered to go back and fix a simple grammatical mistake someone has pointed out! Anyway, your characters are fantastic. I never got the feeling that I was being 'told' what they were like but rather that their personalities just became apparant through their interactions and, in Lana's case, thoughts. Your story is the kind I wish I was brave enough to write because you tackle things like the mafia and secret military branches which I just think I would make a total mess of. But you have handled it with aplomb. I was sad for Markus in the recent chapters and kind of cross at Jade for having a 'love at first sight' experience when she was already with one of the oh so scrumptious Romano boys. Is the fact that the guy Jade thinks is 'the one' is a cop going to come into play in this story or am I just reading too far into it? Don't worry, I don't expect you to answer that! I am really interested in the part Emo's going to play in this too. I'm upset at the moment that he's going to die but I suspect he's going to do something to make himself a little less lovable and I'll change my mind! Wow, that makes me sound hard but my friend and I have convinced ourselves that, as long as you don't do it in real life, shouting things like: 'Oh just shoot him already!' is acceptable whilst enjoying TV, film and fiction!

Your writing style is engaging and funny and I've happily devoted a few hours of what is, at the moment, my crazily busy life to reading this story. I'm not sure if you're one of those people who gets antsy about being asked to update quickly so I'll phrase it somewhat differently. I hope that you update quickly but I fully understand that life is hectic and when life isn't hectic sometimes you just want to do something other than stare at your computer for a couple of hours! Here's hoping that you are able to get that exciting little burst of inspiration which finds you blocking out everything and thinking feverishly to yourself 'I must write, I must write' or that you have a slow day and think to yourself 'oh I may as well give that chapter 24 another go'! I'm sorry this review is so long but think of it as cumulative excitement from 22 chapters unreviewed.

Cheers to you for writing this story.

JADE IS SUCH A FREAKING BITCH! HOW DARE SHE DUMP MARKUS? HOW DARE SHE? THAT STUPID MANLY WOMAN IS NOT GOING TO FIND ANYONE BETTER THAN MARKUS! ACTUALLY, MARKUS DESERVES BETTER THAN JADE! SHE CAN RUN OFF WITH LOGAN WHATS-HIS-FACE! RA!

...anyways.

sorry 'bout not reviewing until now. i've been really busy, with 3rd quarter ending and all, but now it's finally spring break and i can go to fictionpress.

so, yeah, JADE IS A LOSER! i mean, Markus is way too good for her, but she dumps him! and Markus is, like, my favorite character in ICAGW! RA!

yeah, that's about all i have to say. update soon, please.

-kon :)

Aw, poor Markus.

congrats to the nomination! soul mate huh, wow. but she dindt cheat and thats good. do you believe in love with first sight? maby i do, do you know anyone that it really happend to?

fuck, they where such a wonderful foursome. best friends, brothers. darn. my guess marcus will ge D

huh, the title is no biggie. whtas so wrong with it? but since you can get a preview of all the upcoming chapters, will hehe. i jsut have to figure something out until the last chapter you have posted, because girl, this story rocks.

o, a hot guy, number two, but guessing by the mob guy emo is bad news, darn. for us normal persons the guy is either gay or taken as you said or has some strange sexual urges. for lana its bad agent, could it get any worser, is that even a word? well according to your title, it can! but a good worse because its perfectly entertaining.

i love the socks part, that was pure fun, 5$ that that butt head of a boss gave her away, i would have said 50 but since your the authour you call all the shots :D. as for mob guy, i hope he will face justice, well my first thought was that she or boy toy would kill him, but death is not the solution, no sir.

the telephone conversation was way cute, "ok" "ok" "eh" "erp" ha, adorable, well done!

shit girl, that stuff was intense, i really am a true sucker for drama, bring it i say anyday
