So good! Loved this story-wish it'd go on!

I'd especially like an epilogue or futuretake! *hint hint*

:)

I know I'm so very late to this party, but...this was incredible. I found myself almost clicking "review" after each chapter, but I couldn't stop - I needed to know what was next.

At first, I was a bit disappointed there wasn't a love connection, but quickly - VERY quickly - I decided I didn't care. The relationship that bloomed in friendship was special. The way he grew and changed, the dynamic between him and Bell and Frankie - I decided it was enough.

And then, there WAS love, and I was surprised, but so happy. It felt very real, the reactions of family and friends. But I'm so glad they were both able to defend each other, and their relationship (in whatever form it was taking at the time), and realize that despite all the details, love is love. The heart wants what it wants, and that's the most important thing.

This story is so very special, and I feel better for having read it. Thank you for sharing it.

This gives a woman hope LOL

REALLY enjoy your writing. This is the 2nd story that I have read of yours and I plan on reading them all. Great job!

This Edward is really unlikable!

I am totally hooked. This is a delightfully different story, with a delightfully different Edward. Sorry to read that you have stopped writing; you are far too good to quit.

You go bella get your man... Thanks for this story...

Loved reading this! Thank you for sharing it.

Wow this story is amazing!

Just stumbled across this while favorites-jumping. Glad to have found another (rare) solid writer. Sucked in already, though a bit thrown by older Bella

I loved your story! I loved seeing Edward grow as a person over the course of a year, all with gentle nudgings from Bella. Of course, Im REALLY happy that she allowed him to love her in the end.

How I hadn't read this fic already is beyond me! This was rec'd to me on ADF when I asked for coffee related fics, and it did not disappoint. What a great story, great characters and a perfect ending. Thanks for sharing!

I know you wrote this story I while ago so I am not sure if you will see this review or not, but I wanted to say something anyway.

I really, really enjoyed this story. I liked that it was short, that there was no uneeded drama or angst. And it was believeable. There are a lot of youger male older female stories out there yet the female still comes across as a firm, fit and bubbly 19 year old. I loved your Bella, she owned her age, she owned her after pregnancy body and I thought that it set this story apart from the others.

Edwards story and growth was good to. It was believeable. Yeh he partied and slept around and partook in drug sometimes, but unlike other Edwards out there he was not out of control, or on the edge of death, or laying unconsious in a gutter somewhere lol. He was just a 23 year old.

Thanks for writing this I really enjoyed it.

thanks for sharing loved the older bella - as much as i would like to know where they go from here - i think the HEA is all i need

thanks again

wow i kinda wanna give u a hug for writing this story
