I really liked reading this story. I had a couple of links to the chapters saved in a reference document from a while back and now that I'm on spring break, it was a good read!

My favorite parts were Sam and Freddie playing that game during their date, and Carly being all "boss-lady" with Carol-and honestly when Roxy said her first words since Aiden's death ("I missed my daddy") I actually got tears in my eyes.

Also, I thought you did a great job weaving this story together with all the OCs. They worked well for the backstory / backbone of the fic. Carol made me so mad sometimes, so I think that's a strong sign that you've done your job as a fic author!

I see from your profile (and the review page) that you're in college now, so I hope you continue to grow as a writer!

I didn't really like this story it too much about this OC character and not enough sam/freddie! Thats why i skipped every flash back even though i never read this before. Because i dont wanna see sam with anyone but freddie i dont care how perfect or nice the other guy is.

I really enjoyed the first chapter, great job, love it.

That was a great story

So is Garry her husband?

I LOVE Carly now...lol.

I didn't review last chapter but I am so happy that Roxy started talking...I figured it would be to Freddie. That scene almost had me in tears...So heartbreaking...I loved these last few chapters, they're very amazing. :)

Okay, I think you have made me like Carly again.

I really was afraid that her high school fascination with glamor and glitz, her potential shallowness, had morphed into a selfish, conniving bitch. I'm glad I was wrong.

Her comment to Freddie at the end of the chapter made me grin: "I'm gladsome things haven't seemed to change since we were all last together."

I am really getting the sense you plotted this out in some detail before beginning to write it. The story hangs together well, and Nothing seems too abrupt or out of left field. For most to the plot, you've laid things out well, giving a reason for how the plot advances.

So far, the characters seem well defined; of course, Sam, Freddie and Carly are extensions of roles we know well from TV, but you seem to do a good job of fleshing out your original characters, giving them each a distinct and believable point of view.

Your talent with the characters allows you to do what many authors cannot: you have created a CHARACTER driven story. This is no mere plot driven, slapdash yarn, writing characters into doing odd random inconsistent things, just to advance a plot. No, you appear to have taken the time to give your characters REASONS for behaving the way they do, and those behaviors remain consistent.

Well done.

I'm enjoying this story.

Now, two things:

As I mentioned in a review in your Seddie oneshots story, you do struggle a bit with the grammar of pronouns, especially with multiple subjects: him and me, her and I (SHE and I), etc. But while it's distracting, I can't fault you since I hadn't yet given you that page to help correct these errors. (I hope that handbook page can prove helpful...)

One nitpick I have for this chapter is your use of the word 'passer byers.' It doesn't exist. I get that you wanted the plural of passer-by. That word is "passers by." or "passers-by. Weird, I know, that the plural 's' is added to the FIRST word, but so it goes. Like the plural of mother-in-law is mothers-in-law, or the plural of Attorney General is Attorneys General.

But you're in college now, so the writings you do now will be held to a stricter standard, eh?

I really love this chapter. Great job, love it.

Sequel! This was a great story

awww loved it!

Beautiful story! I smiled throughout the whole epilogue

Nice story, love it

OMFG please write more

This was fantastic from beginning to end , I always loved seeing that a new chapter had been posted. I usually have no patience for W. , but you consistently want to make me read them anyway. I think yours are the only ones I read. :)
