and i also think that sydney should not hide behind the whole "its only been 3months since adam". that is a useless excuse!

i mean, sydney's justifications for not pursuing a relationship with him.

I want sydney's personal, inner justifications to be revealed to sean later on! i want to see how he deals with it!

I have a crazy thought... does chuck fancy sydney?

Amherst is home for Sydney now! :) I like the sleepiness of the town. perhaps describe the familiarity everyone has with each other a bit more..

Chuck is fantastic... you describe him vividly. You describe THINGS about him vividly.

I love the flirty playful dynamic they have together. I just feel like Sydney isn't very... likable. It could be because she doesn't seem vibrant enough as a character yet... I feel like Amy is more likable purely because she has all these 'negative' traits that are so very human. Amy also seems to be more ALIVE, in a way.

I love the way you described her embarrassment. It is ongoing, too. I get that way sometimes. I then overanalyse what my next meeting with that person is going to be like!

Also, I would like to see Adam appear somewhere. I want to see how much of a jerk he is :)

Ack I always get confused between Amy and Chloe at the beginning. But I think your view of teenagers is quite justified in the story... On the surface, many teenagers are (on the whole) a lot more ill-mannered than teenagers generations ago.

The name "flaherty" is really quite fetching. :D

the name "frankie" cracks me up. it really does :) it is cute, too cute

I just read this whole story. It is fantastic. I really really like it. I think it's only fair that I review every chapter, for I have read every single one.

Good! I hope they jump each other and get it over with...lol... There is so much damn sexual tension between the two its electric... Can't wait to see how they have their first kiss and everything... I'll be waiting with batted breath...

Another great chapter! I can't wait for the next one!
