I think this is like the third time I've read this story. I love it so much. You are so freakin' talented.

HEY! this story was great.. i totally lovd it.. it was a great mixture of romance and friendship .. thanks for not stopping at chapter 15.. you really cheered alot of ppl... Bye-

I had a vague feeling that the more I read the adult situations you'd put the characters in the less likely it was I'd ever be able to look at BSC books again. I squished the feeling because I bloody loved this story. It was great how they were all growing up but mostly in a screwed up way. None of them had perfect lives and yet you managed to write all the main characters sympathetically, even Dawn who realistically couldn't just get over her drug addiction. (I wonder if that's why you never gave Mallory a chapter because it might have been hard to write her as sympathetically).

In a way the character who surprised me most was Kristy. I read the first few chapters about how she'd changed and had trouble buying it, but then you wrote her character so well and with flashes of old Kristy that by the end I loved her. And I became a massive fan of Kristy/Alan as well. Now I really can never read the books again because I'll just want Kristy and Alan romance.

I don't think you're allowed to swear in reviews but if i could i'd say...

I YOU KNOW WHAT IN LOVED THIS STORY!

Completley hooked!

Wow! I really loved this story. I've never really had a close group of friends. I've always loved reading about friends and how they grow apart. I grew up with the BSC and love the series.

It's sad when people grow apart, but I like how they do still understand each other and are there for each other when things get rough.

I like reading stories like this where the characters do change and aren't the good people we know them to be. I think I also like it because it's so different from who I am.

Sorry for this boring and long review, but this story really was great! I do love what you did with all of them. Now I have to go read other stories by you because you do such a wonderful job of writing!

This is a really good story so far. I want to keep reading, but it's getting late. Chapter 7 cut out in the middle on me. I don't know if it's my computer or what. Could you possibly send it to me at That would be really cool. The only thing I think I don't like is how you make everyone smoke. Well, not Stacey and Claudia so far, but still. Can't wait til later so I can read more!

This story is very, very good. The way you made the characters act and think is very well done. The whole plot is interesting and it was so catching that I couldnt stop reading till the end. Very well done.

For some reason I didn't get the alerts for the last several chapters, and I only realized they had been posted now. That being said, you've done a great job with this story. I'm very eager to continue reading about what brought Dawn and Kristy to the places they've ended up. Great work!

Sorry for taking so long to review, things have been so hectic, I haven't had time.

But I enjoyed this story so very much :) It really was well put together and realistic. I like the way it ended; it made sense that things wouldn't be perfect. Your insights into the characters were spot on. I hope to see something from you soon :)

I absoloutly LOVED your story! Seriously, what you did with those characters was incredible. All the other fanfics I've read about them being in high school are so predictable-Stacey and Claudia are the bitches, Stacey's a slut, so on and so on. I really loved the whole 'Stacey still being a virgin' storyline coz I thought it was so suited to the character-and I loved Mary Anne in this story as well. Thanks for writing such great stuff. Well done!

LOVED IT! Could totally imagine MA going crazy with a tennis racket and doing everything that I want to do to Logan. Man, I hate that guy! Cannot wait to read all of your other fics!

Good job!

A fantastic story, and I'm sorry to see it over. You would not believe how much I cheered when Mary Anne finally got her revenge! Brilliant, just brilliant.

Holly :)

YES. MaryAnne with a tennis racket beating Logan. And Dawn punching Mallory. And Trent punching Logan. I was hoping MA would go after him with a baseball bat to the head and knock him unconscious. Cuz he'd deserve it.

And yet Mallory is still the dumb one, even if she changes her appearance. I hate her so for being such a naive little bitch.

I'm so sad that this has to end. But this was amazing. Kudos to you for writing something well on You, along with all the BSC writers have inspired me to start my own fic at some point. Thanks for renewing my love for the BSC.

"For someone who’s never been much of an athlete, I sure discovered I could swing a tennis racket."

Oh, man, this was the most awesome part of the story! I'm glad Logan had to face some sort of punishment for what he did to Mary Anne. He's a jerk. And I hope someone tells the Pikes. They need to get Mallory serious help.

Trent's a jackass.

I can't believe this story is over. It went by so fast. Good job, good writing.
