You want to maybe be a little more specific? xD

I realized I still owe you real reactions, so here you go.

You started with a math metaphor. I love math metaphors. It’s weird, because I’m not a math person, but I have always felt that a person’s preference for algebra or geometry said a lot about their personality, and that’s one of my favorite parts of your writing: you find the perfect metaphors and extend them as far as they want to go. I also love that the examples of Quinn’s “geometrical” life are so much more literal, using actual shapes, but they’re not random examples. Those are the most important parts of Quinn’s life, because Quinn needs structure and Rachel just keeps writing songs until one of them means something

Wow. So good. Everything.

I particularly liked the museum part, "Though really, she finds it hard to find beauty in the realization that nothing is ever as it seems." The comparison to Ferris Bueller was great.

Thank you!

Oh my. Well done. You break my heart though, which is also excellent.

Very visceral. I enjoyed this. Thank you for writing.

I can't believe this is the first thing of yours that I've read! It's REALLY GOOD. The whole notion of parallel lines, comparing and contrasting the girls' fathers and their musical taste and their opinions of the painting and of Titanic and each other... just perfect, dude. I wish I was capable of this much depth in my work. I enjoyed this very much.
