I love it, love it! When Edward was chasing the mice, I thought I would pee my pants laughing.

It seems like Bella takes on the world. I'm glad she and Edward patched things up. Renee has the biggest flytrap I've ever seen.

Yes, Bella is very observant, and no one but Edward has given her credit for it. I'm dismayed that she may have to be Billy's caregiver now. Maybe he will try to do more for himself or get someone to come in through Medicaid. She & Edward could be good together, if Renee would just butt out. It's as if Bella is ever interested in someone, she just snaps them up.

Gah, could Renee be more of a bitch?

Bella really does seem so closed off.

As someone who writes and posts my own work here, I know how special a review can be. I just want to say thank you for not only sharing another wonderful tale with us, but for touching on an issue very near to my heart. Having family members who struggle with issues like Bella, it is so nice to fall in love with a character and not with a label. Thank you :)

loved it!

I love this description:
In my house it is like a sagging balloon, half the air let out but still some shape.

I didn't get to review all the chapters but I'll say it was a great read your words are always on point always beautifully written it's always a pleasure to read and so sad to end great job

Confession time... I am really bad with writing reviews, much to my shame. They're always deserved. Always. Even if it's only to offer a a thank for being bold enough to post. I know I should review more often- I'm just a bad person, i guess.
This is one of those stories where not just one overall review is deserved, but one for each chapter. Alas, I'm still a bad person, so please forgive me for offering just this one... Nonetheless, Oh My God! I loved it!
A friend first recommended it. Truthfully, after I saw the title, I had some preconceived notions about a slimy Edward dating both 'Mom' and Bella, a threesome and some other unpleasant ideas. Boy, was I wrong.
I was pretty much sucked in from chapter one, and you kept me locked in place. I'm actually so happy I only read this once it was complete as I would have lost my mind if i needed to wait for each new chapter.
I'm proud to say I read it over two days, much to the animosity of my better half, but it was something I couldn't put down. (Although there was a long pause after chapters 31 and 32, where I needed his arms for a good cry...)
I'm not sure what to offer in terms of praise, except that it hit my heart and I so enjoyed reading it. It was well worded, kept the audience - me at least - guessing and dying to know the histories of both Edward and Bella, had real substance behind it, and wasn't the typical cookie-cutter story.
Thank you, thank you for writing it, posting it when you could have saved it for yourself, sharing it when you could easily have charged for it, and for putting up with people like me who don't speak up enough. Thanks again! Kirsten

An amazing and beautiful story! Thank you for writing and sharing your talent.

That's a really good story.
Like your stuff immensely :-)

My son has autism & stories where the characters have some form of it always touches me.

I can't stop reading. I see a lot of myself in your Bella and it's scary. I feel like you should be a writer for the TV show 'Bob's Burger' (that's a big compliment).

Finely drawn and fascinating characters. Very much enjoyed your writing. thanks for sharing the story.
