I just found this and really enjoyed reading it. I loved to hate Emily and was pulling for Tyler to come around at the end. Timmy was a great little character and despite all the problems that it caused, I liked that you had him go after Noel and Tyler. There are still some Durton's that need to be changed over to Dillon's, but not all that many typos so props to your beta(s).

this was a really good story. i hope to read more of your work!

I liked it. The heroine is flawed, but not annoying.

Oh. My. God. That story is AMAZING! I love it so much and I live in Australia and its hard to find a story set in the great land of OZ worth reading but seriously yours is amazing! love u lots!

I hit that review button because this is the only story that keeps me coming back to this website despite the fact that i don't go here anymore at all. :)

congrats on finishing the story and for keeping me and my attention with you. xD

Lol

hope to see you writing again soon.

Oh, and lj?

add me. :D

yay! i had to read the last chapter again to remember what was going on but yay all the same!

awh, i thought the last chapter was beautiful but this takes the proverbial cake :) you are really such a talented writer. i like how you've done the epilogue fairly short but kept the emotive language and the style you've used throughout. yeah. it's bloody brilliant. and seriously, don't apologize for the lateness. you have a life outside fictionpress, it's understandable :)

you probably have said about my name :L it's inspired by Before I Die by Jenny Downham. if you haven't read it, read it! it's a beautiful book.

hm, i haven't graduated yet, i've got a good 2 and a half-ish years to go but it's odd here in the UK. i'm not sure how much you know about British schooling but either way, have a free lesson :D it's to do with the way the school system is. some schools stop at year 11 (end of GCSE years) and others go all the way to year 13 (end of A level years and pre-uni). i'm at a school that goes to year 13- it has a high school (year 7-11) then a sixth form (year 12-13)- so yeah. the year 11's have a prom either before or after exams and it's nice and extravagant but most people come back for sixth form so it's not much of a big deal. we're trying to organise a yearbook but it's not really common for UK schools. year 13's do their things before their exams because after the exams, no one really goes back to school. they spend summer with family and friends before uni. year 13 have a ball- which is more like a party where everyone gets drunk and our Hitler like headteacher grinds up against the rugby lads- and there are leavers hoodies- they have the entire year groups names on and the logo, etc- and people do the whole signing shirts thing though our headteacher hates it but really, what can she do? :) we also have a leaver's assembly for year 11 and 13. this year's is yet to arrive but i've heard there are photos and touching speeches. ought to be fun :)

so yeah, that's basically- with lots of words, haha- it. that's just my school though. loads of schools do it very differently. i really love hearing about the big graduation ceremonies everywhere else- though i get seriously envious. us British lot are unemotional tossers, haha.

ANYWAY, back to the point of this review. ... two secs, let me scroll up and see what i've written... okay, never mind, i've pretty much said everything. i'll say it again :D you are undoubtedly one of my favourite authors on here. your style is just... fhsudgfs. wonderful. k? k. i hope to read more of your work soon! :)

yours,

d&gx

I heart happy endings :)

Complete at last

Aaw what a sweet ending, and I like the way it answered the question at the beginning of the story. I'm so gonna miss reading about these two!

what an unbelievably cute and reality based story. I loved it :)

oh my god i love sufjan stevens!

Wow the story is really great! The only thing that I would say is that I'm confused as to why Tyler and Noel hates each other in the first place?

And are you going to be posting up a sequel? That would be awesome :)

AND EPILOGUE PLEASE?

Okay, first of all, i want you to know you got me laughing like a cracked whore and you got me crying like a dying cow because of these 25 chapters of yours. :)

Hahaha. I was THAT in love with your story that i actually read this in the middle of my class on my phone. I couldn't help but laugh in the middle of the class while the teacher was lecturing - i got caught. Hehehe.

Anyway, your story inspired me a lot. Right after i finish it, i came to my mum, with teary eyes i said, "Mum, I love you." Then i explained how a story taught me a the value of family, and how lucky i am to have them.

Then, i texted my two best friends, saying how i love them. :D

I like the way you make Noel learn her lessons, dealing with family, friends and love; the way she's actually a person with flaw and did stupid stuffs. I like the way you make Emily, she's very real to me, i mean, the way she was shitting, but actually care for her best friend, the way she was angry because her best friend betrayed her, and the way she was somehow a better person than the main character while she was supposed to be the "queen-bitch". I like the way you portrait Tyler, hahaha, i swear, he makes me giggle and got me saying "shit, he's hwat" out-loud.

You also taught me about loyalty and forgiveness, and how important to have that quality. you make me believe that forgiveness, being mature and being courageous is the key to be a better person ... hahaha. Your story makes me into a better person :)

But most of all, i like the feelings of the story... all those love, all those sadness seems so real. are you writing from your experience? cause I believe, strong feelings in a story was driven by how related it is to the author :)

hah. you definitely make my day. I swear, this story should be made into holywood movie. :)

DID YOU SEE ALL THOSE SMILEY EMOTICONS? YOU REALY MADE MY DAY! :)

hahahaha. so, thank you. thank you for writing such an inspiring story. thank you so much! ! THANK YOU!

Incredible, amazing, awesome, did I mention Incredible... and Yay! something about an Aussie high school! Its a nice change!

Anyway... Happy Aussie Day, and thank you for writing Waiting on the World :)
