This was such an amazing story.

Before I forget - there was a chapter when Lucrezia went back to school after being shot in the ankle - you refer to Chris as 'Mike' in that chapter. Not sure if you wanted to edit that.

Let me start by saying I really appreciate you highlighting sexual abuse committed to young men by women - and protraying it in such a respectful way. Emphasizing the lasting effects of something so traumatic - and genuinely showing it WAS a trauma was a huge deal.

I love that Lucrezia and Ben's relationship not only took a while to progress, but it had bumps in the road - big ones. It was very authentic and the anticipation and hope for them to make it work really kept me invested in this story. You're a very talented writer. I really enjoyed reading this. :)

this was amazing and definitely deserves more attention

What no Im so sad but I loved the end NOT in a creepy way but I loved the story well done!

First of all, I LOVE this story! I've only discovered my interest in angsty fiction recently and I swear, this piece was destined to me. And as I know that authors love to receive feedback on their work (especially the positive), I'm not going to wait for the last chapter and write a comment right now.
So, I'm crying over this chapter, being so moved by the character's screwed up lives while trying to ignore the fact that with 26 more chapters in front of me, this was just the beginning and inevitably my heart's about to be torn, shot, broken and sewn together and ripped to pieces again at least once more... But hell yeah, gimme! :D (I hate seeing my favorite characters being hurt, but it means they will eventually be saved and healed, so I like it at the same time, weird, I'm not a sadist... or am I? Aren't we all?)
Second, you're now one of my favorite authors! (I only have two so far, but that's because I don't read here that often :D) At least judging by this story... You manage to mix the right amount of terror and feels to keep me on the edge of my chair for days straight until I finish reading this... So I'll write another comment when I finish, and I really hope you're not going to kill them, I swear, if you do...! ᴵ'ᶫᶫ ᶜʳʸ ᵃ ᶫᵒᵗ

This is honestly one of the best pieces of work I have read. The character development and storyline was simply superb.

Amazing!

But OH MY GOD ! *insert my squeals of excitement*
I LOVE this story!
SO today was my day off and I literally spent the whole day reading this story ! Like I just could not stop! I had to keep knowing what was going to happen all the way up until it ended!
this story was so unique and I love how it wasn't rushed and everything was really taken into detail! I love how they saved each other! I just loved this whole story! I think this is by far my favorite story on here! I have never spent a whole day reading ONE story that was like 39 chapters! AH!
Okay, now I don't want to sound annoying so I should stop. Haha!
But yeah, you're an amazing writer who created an amazing story! Yay! lol
xo

Awesome story i love Ben and Lucrezia! and the ending was perfect! :)

Sequel sequel sequel!

Haha, lovely story :)

Good job

This story was just so beautiful please write a sequel pleaseeee

Your story is amazing. I love how you slowly allowed your characters to progress and didn't rush them into anything. It makes it feel so much more realistic. The developing romance between Ben and Lucy made sense and completely suited the story. And personally, I think the ending was perfect. Being with each other like that lets us see how far they both have come and how they have accomplished it all together. And I like how you didn't make the ending a 'happily ever after'. Life isn't perfect, and never will be - especially after the experiences Ben and Lucy have had.
You have a real talent :D
Thank you for sharing it with us.

I would love that offer of icecream :D

Your story is so great, you'll write something and I find I can actually relate to those moments. Like when u described a point where u try to forget sadness and no matter how much u try to push it back it overwhelms you. :)

I'm not finished reading this yet but I felt I needed to say this. When reading the letter he mom wrote to her I realised that there will always be people who will miss you and who will hurt with you. I guess what I'm trying to say is that this was my reason for not killing myself tonight

I wasn't prepared for this. Yes it seems like a good stopping point. They've overcome so many hurdles to actually get to this point, it's so sad to see it come to an end. Extremely emotional. I did like that you included the self-defense class and that was an appropriate place - she wouldn't have been ready for that kind of contact at that time. I was secretly hoping for some kind of "future" epilogue, but absolutely nothing wrong with this.

I really hope to see more from you in the future.
