Okay I need to rant about this story because no one has such an obsession for the outsiders like me that I know but this story was just absolutely and utterly beautiful. The way you wrote Dallas was next to absolute perfection and it is hard to get his character because he is so complex. I loved the way that Rebecca was different than other main characters in romance books because she actually had struggle and goals in life and she wasn’t just all wrapped up with Dallas well she kinda was but she wanted to have a full filled life with him not just a life with him. I am so thankful that you included social issues because most don’t ever?? Like it’s literally in the 60s. Also the PLOT TWISTS?! ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. Everything tied into each other so perfect like it actually makes me mad how you pulled that off. Needless to say you are so talented, I am so jealous it makes me hate you (jk). The way your write and the way you construct sentences together is just beautiful. You leave us on the edge of your seat it’s insane. The way I can feel emotions and feelings I’ve never felt before but when you write it I can feel exactly the way you write those emotions and feelings deep in my heart. Every character you wrote in a way where you could love them but also they all had their own faults and deceptions that didn’t make them perfect. The way you wrote about love and how Rebecca and Dallas loved each other actually my heart burn.

in terms of dallas, i made a list of the whole timeline for the story and what i wanted to happen. throughout this, i picked spots where dallas could have struggles and growth and i feel like as i did this, i could understand him more. when writing characters i think it's really good to consider their motivations in life, why they are the way they are, their backgrounds, little things that make up their personality, etc. the same goes for rebecca, her character took a lot of work but i really wanted to get her character right!! since my story was enemies to lovers, a big thing for me was considering why rebecca and dallas would be enemies, but also how they could overcome that. also don't just focus on attraction!! chemistry is super important imo. i really wanted to show how on top of the physical connection they also had emotional connection. i hope that helps!! i'd overall really get to know your characters (ask yourself questions about them), go over things you want to happen in the book and see how the characters can fit into those things, and really work on building chemistry between them by acknowledging why they have a connection and how. hopefully that helps!!

just a side note btw when I finished this I was sobbing for 3 HOURS IM NOT EVEN KIDDING. Like actual tears streaming down my face as I sobbed. I spent WEEKS reading this, literally so invented in this story.
one last thing sorry this is so long. You probably think I’m insane. But you have to write another fan fic idc who it is, what it’s about. Just omg. Personally I would loveee if you wrote another fanfic with Dallas but yknow it like happy for once because every Dallas fanfic HE ALWAYS DIES. Anyways absolutely love this fanfic. I am being a 100 percent serious when I say this that this fanfic is better than some actual books I’ve read. I hope and pray you become a writer and release this as a real book and others because I would every single one.
ONE LAST THING I SWEAR. I would love some tips on how to write and how to get Dallas’s character completely accurate while also trying to write a character that will go along with Dallas well because you did it perfectly okay bye lol
