Wow, just wow. Your style of writing is very hook, line, and sinker. You got me at the beginning. I actually am diagnosed with OCD (though it's not as bad as Adam's lol) and this was a very good look in to the way the disorder works, with some supernatural stuff thrown in It's a very "in the moment" story as well. Excellent work, thanks for sharing! :D

DFC

Okay the last bit made me grin, so uber cute, though it would have been better without Amy there to totally purposely knock her hot chocolate over (scheming little brat .) but then having a sudden hot and steamy make out session at the coffee shop in middle of work wouldn't be good either i suppose. (lets Amy off the hook) Adam was a fun main character, I really enjoy reading with someone so nontraditional :) Also have to add in that the scene with Adam and his mom and aunt had me in giggles the whole time, absolutely hilarious. there were a couple scenes i had to go back and reread during the story i am tremendously lazy and don't want to go back in find them, but i think the big one was when you introduced charlie and his brother and i wasn't sure who was all there and who the heck was real. I had to read that part a couple times, but otherwise a great story!

Physically Adam&Joe look like Ste & Brendan from Hollyoak (to me)

This was really fun. Adam was such an interesting character and I liked the way Joe covered for him and understood some of his habits because it made me feel like there was a realistic way for the two of them to be happy together. Good job on this excellent story:)

This story is so great! I enjoyed reading it the whole way through. Adam is such an unforgettable character. To be honest I found Joe a little annoying. He got angry a little too often and with that slightly dark past I'm not entirely sure I like him. I'm reasonably confident he'll be nice to Adam though. Haha Amy was so funny in this last chapter! Way to ruin a perfectly good moment! Great story, I loved it! :)

very well done. got my first review ever :D

I fancy adam. He sound so helplessly cute!

Okay, I know what to say but I don't at the same time, but I'll try to tell you what I know but I don't at the same time elocuently. (that made no sense at all).

My mind was blown.

First, because it was just... pure genius. The plot, the characters, the way it's written. Everything. It blew my mind. I became obsessed with this story and it's probably one of the best I've ever read (if not the very best). Your talent is extraordinary, really, really good. I loved it... everything of it. I just loved it.

Second, Adam Grey. Yeah, that's one of the reasons I loved it the most... because he's just so obsessive and anxious, always counting, always stressed... I loved him, his personality and weird quirks, so very intriguing. And the worst, is that maybe he reminded me of myself, with my obsessive counting to keep my sanity in check, and the bumps. Well, mine aren't really bumps, and probably, hyper-sensitive people have it too, the feeling you get when are in a heavy room, it's because something happened there, and sometimes you can see the shadows of the moment. But well, my obsessive counting relates me more to him. It was great, great, great.

And last, but not least! Your writing style. It's hilarious and breath taking, it got me obsessed. It.. was really good, okay? I don't know how to describe it as I am in a loss of words, but you're wonderful and you should get published, just look for an editor and you'll probably be recommended to a publisher, I know about this, trust me. You are awesome.

Well, it was great okay? I loved it. And I'm being sincere. You're gonna be the very best, like no one ever was.

Sincerely,

R.P. Ann (Pats).

The plot was interesting and I was really curious who the kidnapper was.

I absolutely adored Adam and all his quirks. I loved the ending but I'd really like to see how the relationship between Joe and Adam develops. Have you considered writing a sequel?

Absolutely fantabulous. Fantastic writing, excellent plot, interesting characters, splendid pacing. Everything just clicked! Wonderful wonderful work. Thank you so much for posting, I thoroughly enjoyed the read : )

I am in love with your writing! The humor and voice are just so excellent! I already love your main character, and can't wait to read more!

I like you too. This is just an appreciation post... it's been four years so you don't need anyone to comment on old work.

Oh my goodness this is brilliant, definitely not what I was expecting when I clicked on it. I can't stop reading. But I have to study.

Oh, dilemas...

Characters usually don't have completely fixed forms in my head, but so far I'm seeing Adam as very average (medium-short height, brown hair, unremarkable face), That kind of skinny that's a step away from being sickly, and quite pale, but he's kind of attention-grabbing when you actually see his eyes (hazel-green, maybe?). Hides behind his hair, even though it's not that long. Moves like he's trying to learn/relearn how his body works. Quiet voice, like you'd expect from someone who doesn't talk much, although surprisingly hypnotic/melodic at times.

...Wow, didn't think I was picturing that much. Anyways.

Wow. I can't even put into words how much I loved this story! It's a little reminiscent of Jordan Castillo Price's PsyCop series, and I love that too so this was just in my taste. Adam is such a wonderful character; interesting and compelling. And the story is wonderful too! I really love your writing, and I can't think of anything that would have made this story even better! :) Thanks for sharing!

hugs

Jesus mother of fuck. I'd say that this was the best damn thing I've ever read, but then I have yet to view your other 14 stories.
