So, this comment totally would have made my day (which has been a pretty awesome day) - the only thing beating it out right now is the fact that I just got home from my first Adam concert. I read this on my iPhone while waiting to get out of the parking lot and let me tell you, you made an AMAZING experience even better!
You write them with such realness it's SCARY!
This is the best compliment ever, seriously. I truly couldn't ask for anything more from my story, and I'm incredibly flattered that you find my characters that authentic!
I can sum up my entire response to your comment by saying YES! haha, reading this is like reading over a conversation with my beta, or something - you pinpointed so many things that I've consciously decided to explore in this series.
I love that your favorite POV was Katy's! I made the choice to write Wonderland from Katy's POV because I knew she was the most unfamiliar/least sympathetic character of the three, and if this was going to work at all then Katy has to become accessible, understandable. Feedback like this tells me I succeeded.
Especially the comment Katy said about how it felt like cheating.
So cool that you pinpoint that moment. Katy was *vehement* about that in my head; it wasn't something planned, she just spit it out, and every time I read that scene I can feel that conviction in her.
Re: Adam's POV - YES to everything. :)
Re: telling families, I'm excited about writing that, but don't know when it will happen at this point. We'll see!!
There's SOOO many things I want to point out but I just feel like I'll be rambling forever if I try to do that.
Don't let me stop you! ;) Seriously, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with me - this is AWESOME feedback and it's just so rewarding to hear that my story has captured your imagination this much. I truly, truly appreciate it!
