hey i dont know if you got my mini review onyour site but i felt like i needed to come her and boast ya up some more! I adored this story, and being raised cathloic myself alot of it was like "yeah i know whats she means!!!" LOL" soo freakin sad in the end tho woman! you made me CRY like a baby! *not a bad thing like this you understand!* off to read the sequel that i JUST found out about *excited eeeeeee* cya!
I just finished reading this story and it was one of the saddest things I've ever read but in a great way. You really know how to show emotion with this story. It's very powerful. I loved it.
Okay so.
I finally finished this story. I read this story out of your many stories to choose from because I'm in love with John Legend, honestly.
But, then reading more obviously made me very enthralled. This story was so sad, and depressing at times, but nonetheless...extremely well written.
I loved the way you allowed me to get into Justin's head-what he was thinking, what he did and didn't want to say at times as well.
Being a Christian, I also loved how you had religion play a role in this story. I was also happy, that you weren't trying to force Christianity on the readers, but you were showing how hard it could be to be dedicated to one's faith.
Now, maybe I've just over-analyzed this story too much and you were simply writing around John Legend's CD. LoL. I will say this though, on a lighter note, this was the first story that I've read where the author uses songs to convey a story with feelings, and does it well.
So, I look forward to reading more of your works soon. Maybe next time, my review won't be so lengthy!
Awesome job!

Author's Response: LOL! Damn, this is a husky ass review, Melanie, but every word is appreciated. I love John Legend myself, so I had to write something uses his incredible lyrics. The story was a downer, but I wanted to write something dramatic. I'm glad you enjoyed the Christian aspect because I'm Catholic, so I had to rep the Lord, LOL! Thank you, thank you, thank you a million times over for all your compliments and thanks for the lovely review =)
More sadness. I'm glad that Josie and Justin have each other though. Thanks for writing such a great story and I'm sorry it took so long for me to finish it. You did a great job. Made me cry enough, didn't you? Lol. I'm still wiping at my eyes--but don't worry, I think I'm gonna be okay. *sigh* lol
Author's Response: LOL, sorry for the tears, LOL. I'm flattered by your compliment. I don't even feel like this story was good enough for all the great reviews that I got. *blush*. Thank you for the support, even if it took a while to get you to finish reading it, LOL. Better late than never, sugar. Thanks again for your reviews.

Title: Live It Up
Oh my God. I finally mustered up the strength to read this. Oh God. It was so sad. When Josie gave her that bear--my throat tightened, my eyes got watery. And then when he came up and he felt something was wrong. Oh god, *BawL* It's so nice that they had that one last day together that was nice...but..........oh *More tears* .....shiver.......oh so sad. This was such a beautiful great story, but I'm just so sad for Justin and Josie right now. I know they'll eventually move on and everything.....but ---see you've got me all boggled, I can't even form complete sentences. Well, I'm gonna go grab myself a tissue. Lol. :(
Author's Response: Awww, I felt so bad writing this story, LOL. Everybody's crying and shit, and I feel like I'm the bringer of depression or something, LOL. The last day together was nice. I thought I'd ease her pain and not let her suffer like I planned, LOL. Yeah, I'm that evil, lol. Just kidding, lol. Anywho, thanks for the review, sugar.
