![]() ![]() Humans are animals, too, and just as easy to understand—as long as you don’t try to apply a subjective human moral code. Sure, one could say our ability to reason and experience complex feelings somehow transforms instincts into motives, but it’s still survival of the fittest at its core. Animals constantly react and make decisions based on appearance, smell, electrical signal, etc. in ways dictated by both genetically-coded instinct and learned behavior. It’s just that descriptive labels like “prejudice,” “bigotry,” and “racism” are usually reserved for human actions and states of being. And of course animals similarly wage war—oftentimes due to the basic concept that different/unknown equals bad. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Oh my goodness! I don’t know why I never read this before! What a wonderful journey. I loved young Alice and how she tried to guide Edward to the right path. Such a great story. Knit |
![]() ![]() ![]() I love love love this story so much! And the ending, it’s perfect! Thank you SO much for sharing! This had me on the edge of my seat at some parts. I love the idea of Time travel and the way you went about it with Alice controlling it was brilliant! |
![]() ![]() ![]() I love the way this story came full circle. I love that Alice is back at Esme’s bday party. Very interesting with the two brown eyes too. I love that as readers we see what the first life was like vs how Edward fixed it and how it affected everyone in his life. I’m so glad Edward still has his parents too, I’m sad that Jasper passed but I understand why you did it that way. I did notice at the end of this chapter that Alice explained to tiny Jasper that he will soon have a baby sister and at 8 weeks nobody would know the gender and I wonder if she’s telling the future… |
![]() ![]() ![]() I figured early on in the story Edward would end up having a son named Jasper. When Edward first met tiny Alice at his niece’s bday party when Alice said she would never get married because he wasn’t born, I guessed that it was because Edward never had a son named Jasper and he was supposed to have. My guess felt even more likely when I learned of Edward’s friend Jasper who wouldn’t live past 18 years and that they would name their future son Jasper. |
![]() ![]() ![]() This chapter hit me so hard, I can’t believe he’s gone although I knew it was coming, my heart is aching over his death! Also the last line from Alice in this chapter is such a strong powerful one wow! |
![]() ![]() ![]() I so enjoyed your story! You mixed my two favorite book series! You did a wonderful job with the "do over" trope. You even made me cry! Thank you for sharing. |
![]() ![]() ![]() This has nothing at all to do with your story, well, not really anyway, and I don’t know if you even still read these reviews, buuuut, my daughters middle name is Sierra - like the character from Dollhouse.
