i read "16" when it first came out.... however long ago that's been now... and some strange voice in the back of my brain said "remember that fic?" and i just came to find it. everything about how it's written, especially the first 4 chapters, is just so movie-like to me. it has been the only book i can truly picture playing out - the dialogue, how its said, the people, the places... it's extremely well-written. and it holds an important-enough place in my heart for 21-year-old me to come back to it after all these years.
