This is such a touching, beautiful story. Much as I love cute, fluffy fics I really enjoyed the fact that in this story there's still an underlying uneasiness. I think it's a nice realistic touch. And I like that there's something inside Sara that isn't just going to be fixed by having Nick around. Loved it.

I'm reviewing as I read, because you know it's just more fun that way. =D

I really loved the idea of Nick and Sara sitting right beside each other and sending instant messages. It's really cute and brought a smile to my face.

The way you show Sara's shortcomings and search for the right actions or words is really powerful. It was totally in her character to over analyze things, whereas Nick just seems to be able to accept them... and its not often that an author can communicate the cliche feelings of a character and make them so personal. It is easy to take that for granted in most works, but you emphasize it so well and make it so... relevant and easy to relate to. I hope that made some kind of sense. XD

Loved the chinese food scene. Classic. XD The massage was really cute too. What a great read!

Well, reviews look pretty out of order when you write them as you read, but whatever. =P I didn't want to miss anything. I love your writing and look forward to reading more of your work. You really have a gift with words. =D

I could really feel Sara here, her feelings so raw and real. I love the way you write Sara/Nick.

Sorry if this shows up twice...I loved this, great story, and amazingly well written. Then again, I would expect anything less of you. I loved the illusions to Happily Ever After and Nick the Hero (I've been working on a story with the same kinds of things. Great minds think alike!) Can't wait until you post something else!

This has got to be one of the most realistic looks at a relationship (and at Sara) that I have read in any story. It feels true, and honest, and all too human. If this relationship ever happened, this is probably how it would feel. And the fact that with all Sara's doubts, and worries, and insecurities it doesn't read as depressing, is a testimony to your insight and writing abilities. A lovely piece altogether. Thank you.

I think I could sit and read your fics for days on end and never get tired of them. They're just so...perfect. And I was going thru some serious Snickers withdrawal, so your timing was perfect. :)

I really liked this. Sometimes, I think, some of us wish we could turn our brains off and just enjoy the moment. The more life disappoints you though, the harder it is to do. I think you captured that.

I loved this. Poor Sara, not even tons of research (37 relationship books?!?!) can help with understanding feelings/relationships.

I loved this. I'd also love to see Nick's perspective on this.
