I have totally spent the whole night reading this, and I've been smiling, crying, hurting and everything in-between.

I don't think I could ever leave a review that would do this amazing piece of work any justice at all, so I'm just going to tell you that I enjoyed it in a way that I've enjoyed very few stories before.

I mean, your characterization, wording, style... everything is just fantastic... I'm sorry I can't say anything more specific, but I'll blame it on being so totally blown away.

This was wow. Just wow.

Oh my God, thank you. It's so amazingly wonderful to hear that, especially since this story is my baby, and I love hearing that it had the impact I had hoped when I wrote it. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!

I've been reading all of this for quite some time now...ever since you posted it in some community awhile back. And god..I finally got through it..and it was so beautiful. I love the way you write April. I've been so interested in April for awhile and this is the first FULL story that I've seen of her. It was awesome. I wish I could give a better review for this but I'm kind of...dumbstruck right now. There were so many things that I could tell were about to happen or be said and yet, when they happened, it was still unexpected...just because of how you wrote it, I suppose. But..yea...you did an amazing job on this.
