That was so romantic!!! I loved it, especially the Dr. Seuss book reading. It was perfect, lol. and I'm not really mad that Justin and Scar got married...I like her. I like Zooey, too, so....
damn, you know how to confuse me!
Author's Response: Yay! Romantic is definitely what I was going for. The Dr. Seuss reading just kind of leapt out at me and I had to use it, I'm glad you guys "got" it lol. Luckily, no one's really been mad that Justin and Scarlett tied the knot, but it'll definitely make for some split opinions down the road, huh. I'm glad I confused you though, I'm totally trying to lmao. Thanks for the review, babe!
OH MY GOD I JUST CAUGHT UP ON THIS STORY AND DEAR JESUS, SWEET LORD ABOVE.
I just...I'm so for Zooey and Justin, but THEIR VOWS!!!! OH, THE PLACES YOU WILL GO?! REALLY?! THAT IS THE CUTEST THING I HAVE EVER, EVER, READ. Seriously. Like, so cute, I kind of want to steal it for my wedding.
Like, I'm not even loving Scarlett and Justin's relationship that much, but, not even gonna lie, I kind of teared up a bit when they were vowing to do all those wonderful things. Which is SO your style, i don't know how you do it, but some how you manage to make all your characters SO LIKEABLE! When you want to, at least.
I'm so glad you're updating this story so regularly, I can't wait to see what happens? WILL JUSTIN REALLY CHEAT?! OH MY GOODNESS. I just...UPDATE LIKE, NOW!
Author's Response: Omg, I love you! Absolutely, positively, completely, I love you lol. And I understand, you thought you had a team picked out, but then Justin and Scarlett are kind of overwhelmingly adorable sometimes, right? When I was writing the wedding, it all came out so easily and naturally and that's when I know a chapter/scene doesn't suck. And then I was looking over my bookshelf for something I could use as a wedding reading and Dr. Seuss was screaming at me, so I had to include it. Hell, I may use it for my wedding myself lol. Anyway, yes. I thank you so much for the awesome compliment of being so excited and awesome yourself. And I always worry about whether my characters are boring or redundant or just not relatable at all, so maybe I go overboard with it. But I'm glad you like them! It's supposed to be difficult for all parties involved lol! I will try to keep up the regular updates. I had half of the story written before I started posting, and I have all the chapters outlined, so hopefully, this pace will continue. And you'll find out if Justin will cheat sooner or later... Most likely later. :giggle I think I've rambled nonsensically enough for one response, but seriously, THANK YOU SO MUCH! :love
Author's Response: LOL, too easy, huh? You absolutely don't have to like Scarlett, that's fine. But don't worry, his interactions with Zooey are far from over, so fret no more, my dear!
Author's Response: Haha, I think adorable is a pretty perfect way to describe them. They just kind of make you smile, don't they? I debated with whether or not Justin should actually go through with it, but realistically, I don't think anyone would cancel their wedding for someone they met just a couple of months before. So yeah, he is married now! And you don't *have* to like Zooey, if you're diggin' Scarlett and Justin a little more, then just go with it! Either way, you're in for some... fun. *EVL* (That's Evil Villan Laugh, jsyk!)
I'm going to actually say a first for me in reading stories.
You can't let the original couple break up.... this is just too good, I love them together, they are perfect and fun, and damnit, I like Scarlett more than Zooey.
Ok, I have never said that ever, I always root for the new girl but I like them together....
Author's Response: Ooooh, very interesting. I don't think many people admit this or even expect it as a possibility. I like it! But they are a cute ass couple, aren't they? And while I love my Zooey, I adore Scarlett too, so you just may get your wish, girl. Good for you stepping outside the box! lol I'll see if I can make you happy!
i constantly think of zooey as zooey deschanel...and since you named her older sister emile.... that's who i picture when reading this! and then thinking of emile dating kanye, especially in the outfits you describe her in, is too funny so then i laugh and laugh and forget what i'm doing and i have to reread all over again.
anyway, i really enjoy this story, much like all your other ones...zooey reminds me of Rie, only less badass and more quirky.
Author's Response: LMAO, Zooey D. is totally my girlcrush and the absolute reason I chose that name/spelling for this story (even though I'm using Rashida Jones' face.) And yep, Emile's name came from Emily Deschanel, so your whole line of thought, while hilarious, is pretty logical. And added bonus, you're a double-reader, so thanks for that! lol And thank you so much for checking me out. I always wonder who's actually caring what I have to say, and it always turns out to be someone awesome like you, which is a huge compliment, so I 'preciate it. Btw, I love the idea of Zooey being some version of Rie, because Rie was like, my favorite person everrr. Some trace of her will probably show up in whatever I write from here on out lol. But anyway, I'm rambling. Thank you so much, Margaret!
Wow I'm surprised Justin went through with the wedding. Since I'm rooting for him and Zooey I was kind of hoping he wouldn't. Plus now that he's a married man that's a whole new can of worms that's about to be opened.Drama, drama, drama.
I can't wait to see what happens next!
Author's Response: Yeahhh, I was hoping that would be kind of a surprise, because I figured everyone would think the wedding would be canceled or at least postponed at some point. But no, Zooey didn't have enough time to pull him that far from Scarlett's clutches, I'm sorry lol. So yeah, we've got a whole new ball game now that he went and put a ring on it. Stay tuned though, we're gonna have some fun! lol Thanks for the review, darlin'!
"As he sat there, staring at Scarlett, who seemed to be nauseatingly perfect, he started to wonder if it was all a little too easy."
What an idiot. SMH. Please update soon.
Author's Response: LMAO that about sums it up, doesn't it?
Ok, so now I love Scarlett even more (stop doing that to me because I'm scared she'll be hurt). I just don't know if it was the best decision because you know how he gets around Zooey and this is more than likely going to break her heart. The ceremony was adorable and they just seem to work don't they? The vows were very endearing and almost everything in me wants it to work out. But then, I wouldn't have a story to read right? Plus, I know there's something there with Zooey. Too frickin cute mama!
P.S- Love Dr. Seuss!
Author's Response: Haha, I love Scarlett, too! It's hard not to, which is kind of what I'm going for. I want you guys to be just as confused as Justin lol. It may not have been the best decision though, you're right, and I don't think Justin really thought all of this out... which he seems to never do where Zooey is concerned, and that's dangerous for everyone involved. But in the meantime, we can enjoy that Justin and Scarlett are happy and adorable together, and we'll get to Zooey eventually, I suppose, so you will definitely have a story to read! lol Thanks for the review, boo!
Awwww man! I would have been so excited with how beautiful everything was if I didn't know the reason why Justin rushed this. Justin, what did you do??? smh. Gah, if he breaks Scarlett's heart, he better get a shitload of karma for it. Those vows better mean something. I'm just saying. Now I'd really like to know how he and Zooey are going to work out. Damn. This is torture, update soon pretty please. Wonderful update by the way. Seems like the calm before the storm, or most likely hurricane, since those are worse. lol
I love how you make me wish your characters were real so I could reach in and smack sense into them. haha
Author's Response: Justin's reasoning did kind of make it all bittersweet, didn't it? But I think that makes it a little interesting, you kind of see little hints of his own possible self-destruction, which I think is important. But hey, maybe he won't actually do anything *too* wrong! I am so sorry for torturing you, but yeah, you may want to get used to it. There's no light at the end of this tunnel for a while lol. But thank you so much for reading! And I try to make my characters as real as possible for that exact reason, so you can relate and love and hate and all that good stuff, so I'm so glad you do!
Author's Response: Yeah... the wedding kind of causes a whole cosmic shift or something, doesn't it. But I'll make it all all right, I promise!
