That story got to me so much and you had me seeing perspectives in a way I was never able to before. I tend to have strong opinions about people and their actions but this story I saw everything 360 degrees and could understand why people did the things they did. It was special and thank you for it!!
I can't believe you even consider me amazing, you who writes these indescribable stories... I'm fangirling!!
I hate that there was even a single moment that you doubted yourself and your vision. Honestly I would love the story even if I dislike parts of it. If it provokes me enough to think about and obsess even in a bad way to me that's great I'm engaged but I would never criticize. The only thing would be constructive by saying something reads to ambiguous but never in a bad way. It's far too easy to sit back and judge but the real struggle is the one giving their all, and you gave your perfect effort!!!
Oh and you have some amazing readers who have entertained me so much. I gave up replying to their thread they tagged me in and instead sat back and watched because they are firecrackers. So witty and fun, I spent hours going back in it to read bits I missed. Also it's very lucky your characters are fictional, I would have to have a halfway house to help them disappear into the world otherwise... The Valentine men were most as risk and Clayton was in mortal danger!!!
Thank you for writing this and most importantly thank you for writing. I can't express how much I love it!! You'll find me lurking in the comments always!
