This is such a charming, lovely story. The historical details you have woven throughout make it so appealing. I really visualize sunwashed photo postcards while reading it. Am so looking forward to reading more!

Thank you for writing.

ok... so given my love for Charlie, I'm sure you can imagine my strong words for Renee right about now. So I will save the expletives for outside the review box. But once again, excellent chapter, and I am really loving this Bella so far. Look forward to the next chapter bb *hugs*

Well my dear... you knocked the dam right off the river on that one. If I have one weakness, as StarlightSuccubus can tell you... it's Charlie. I was bawling like a baby when he was dying/passed. Like literally, my shirt still has the wet marks. My heart still hurts a little. Looking forward to seeing where you take this... Awesome job.

Ow Charmaine, I don't like Renée at all!

She is an opportunist and a liar. I hope she doesn't have it very easy when it comes to Bella.

I loved Alice's character, although we didn't see her much, I loved that she's an actress and she did the costumes for the play. I loved the word icebox!

I think this story is taking shape nicely, please give us Edward soon! Can't wait to see him. And Are we seeing more of the play?

I loved the last line.

XOXO,

Karla

I think what I didn't realize with the first chapter was that this was set in 1932. Interesting. I hope that is the last we see of Renee, but somehow I doubt it.

Charmaine,

Wow, that was so sad. Charlie, poor, poor Charlie. I guess this has to happen for Bella's journey to start.

And is the new girl Alice?

So far, although this is the intro, I am loving your style, the wording and the reality. You are doing an amazing job and I can't wait to see what else you have in store for us.

Is this going to be all in BPOV or are we going to see EPOV?

You're awesome and I need another chapter.

XOXO,

Karla

This was heartbreaking but I love bella's resolve to continue on despite how terrible she feels. The language and flow are perfect for the time period. I really enjoyed this and look forward to the next installment. Curious to see how Edward makes his appearance and how Renee factors into all this.

Great job, Charmaine!

Beautiful and heartbreaking. Such visuals that painted such a sad picture of Charlie's passing. So evident how close they were. Curious if we will find out more about Renee. Loving your first chapter and looking forward to wear you take this. So proud of you!

I didn't make it first, but I got here as quickly as I could to tell you how much I love this story. It's beautiful, and so are you. Going back to re-read now!

this looks awesome!
