Perfect just perfect... I read this 12 years ago as FF and now as a published story It always stuck in my mind as an amazing piece of writing Phenomenal in fact. I myself was a secret once long ago my own son has had addiction problems for over 20 odd years. He is now clean and living his best life. He even had a brush with Cancer at 23 But he still couldnt stop ! It has to be the right time. NA was his Salvation & his Mantra is "We do recover" This story is exactly all encompassing and exceptional and I thank you both for its existance.

Your portrayal of this situation is so visceral and honest.. Thank you for your amazing writing Dusty and Bliss are truly exceptional I think this should be prescribed reading for teens . It is raw and honest and a lesson

I cannot even put into words how this story made me feel. I’ll try.
I feel equal parts frustrated (for how Bella acted and how she took him back time and time again; for Edward and how he acted and how he couldn’t stick to sobriety and faithfulness; for his parents; for her parents) and f*cking elated with the writing and the feelings and for f*cks sake, you wrote from the point of view of her heart…. I’m just, just f*cking speechless. I’ve been reading in fanfiction for more than 10 years and I’ve only written a handful of reviews. But this… this deserve its own review. Well done ladies

Ugh, Bella! Ditch his ass! Make him earn you, girl! This is so frustrating!

Good lord what an am emotional ride.

I hate sequels.

But I need one. I’ll only ever ask this once. Can we have one? I’m hoping to go to ur page and see one lol

Edward leaving her on the dance floor and throwing an arm around Victoria. Like wtf is edwards deal?!

Wow what a great story. So sad for both of them, I was so mad though that she did push him into rehab, so selfish. But in the end I was glad that she was moving on. Thanks for writing!

Good lord this story fucking gutted me. I knew it wasn't going to have a happy ending. I knew it. But I couldn't let them go and now I feel like *I'm* going through the grief she felt. Feels. I feel so bereft. She lost allll the Cullens. And love. And just...does he ever get better? I honestly kept expecting this to end with him dead. It's so fucking heartbreaking.

I’m late to the party but i can’t NOT say anything as i sit here and CRY! So beautiful and heart wrenching, i don’t know if my heart can ever handle this again, but i loved every second of it

I just can't stop crying. This story keeps breaking me and I keep comong back. It fucks me up and rips me open, making me feel everything. It's the best and worst kind of hurt.

whew. that was a ride. in general I loved it, it made me feel something and inspired me to write, which is all a good story can hope to do. I detested almost every character by the end, but that's how real people are. you dont have to love the characters to love the story. frustrating, moving, tension filled. thank you for writing!

I can't begin to explain how much I loath this Bella.

An absolutely incredible story that makes you feel so deeply.

Thank you so f*ing much for that perfect ending. I was so worried until the grocery store. That was picture perfect.

This is so brutal and I have read this three times. It’s still too ladies are amazing.

My god, this is so painful.
