Author's Response: Yeah, innocent wouldn't quite be the way to describe all this, huh? lol I'm glad you like them anyway though, I'm definitely working to keep them lovable in the midst of whatever may happen. At any rate, thanks for the review, boo! Love hearing from you.
Author's Response: It's okay if you like Scarlett! She's there for you to like lol. And I think they're pretty good for each other, but it will hopefully not be an easy decision for Justin... if there's one to make, because Zooey is pretty awesome in her own right, right? I'll try not to make it hurt too badly! Thanks for the review!
Author's Response: Yayyy, thanks for reviewing! I love Zooey myself, so I hope you keep loving her lol. They will definitely get into some thangs though, you'll see.
*dramatic sigh* Now, I'm all torn. If Scarlett were Jessica or just Plain Jane, I'd want Justin to drop her quickly, especially since I'm really liking Zooey so far (smart and funny, my kinda girl!!!). Buuuut, Justin and Scarlett are still so lovable and adorable. UGH. I know which side I should be on, but... I can't commit just yet. lol.
As for Zooey's hipster, "alternative" friends-- hahah! I kinda love them, and I can tell that they'll make life colorful. I swear I know these people-- especially brooding asshole Andy. Ugh, can I please smother him? = So, basically, this story is already full of win win win...can't wait to see what happens next (andhowlongitwilltakeJTandScarJotobreakup)!! :)
Author's Response: LOL, you crack me up. I know what you mean, Scarlett is certainly harder to root against than some random Oatty. But that's the point! I love Zooey, so I'm glad you like her, but it would be too easy for him to be in some suck ass relationship, wouldn't it? It's okay, you don't have to commit to anything just yet. And yes, Zooey's dear friends are an... interesting bunch. I feel really bad for you if you know people like Andy, though. I plucked him from one too many books and movies, I'm sad to hear people like him actually exist lol. In spite of it, though, you are full of win yourself. Don't hold your breath for any breaking up, though. 8o
Author's Response: It's rough when they're equal, isn't it? You just don't know what you want. To be honest, I don't know what I want either, so this will likely get interesting for Justin sooner than later lol. Even so, I hope you continue to like! Thanks for the review, love!
Author's Response: Not bad at all! I'm glad you're excited. I'm excited to keep hearing what you think. I'll try to make it relatively painless but full of drama for you lol. Thanks, hun!
Author's Response: Well thanks! You're truly spectacular yourself. Hope to keep hearing from you!
Author's Response: Lmao, tell it like it is, girl. You're right though, Justin needs to get his shit together before all those harmless thoughts become something more. I'll see what I can do about Zooey's homewrecking lol. Thanks for the review, Miss Tasha!
Author's Response: Omg, thank you! I don't know if it's talent or just too much time on my hands, but I so appreciate you saying that. But with your gift for colorful analogies, I'm sure you don't need me for anything lol. What kind of book are you writing? I wish I had the patience to even try lol. At any rate, I can't thank you enough. I can't tell you how much I've loved hearing from you over the years. I hope you do finish your book because I'd love to see what you have to say!
At least, back then, it had been.
Aw man! that last line!!!!!! Just caught up on the last two updates. I'm getting so hooked on this story. Your stories are so freshing the way you tell them. But man, I see nothing but trouble down the line and a love triangle forming. I actually like Scarlett in this. I don't want to see her get hurt ya know? Unless she turns out to be a bitch. lol. I like Zooey and she and Justin have a good dynamic, definitely chemistry there. And I think Justin might slowly be starting to like her even if it's a tiny bit that he hasn't identified yet. lol lol. Anyway I can't wait to see how this is going to play out. Oh and what was up with her rude friends?
Keep the update rolling. Love it! :)
Author's Response: Awwww, thank you so much! When I'm writing, sometimes I just feel like I'm boring the hell out of you guys, but if you like it, I'll take it lol. You're right, though, trouble is pretty much inevitable when an awesome girl finds a connection with an engaged man lol. And then his fiancee is pretty awesome herself (she more than likely won't end up a bitch, I have to say), so yeah... trouble! And then feelings are forming when they shouldn't and egos may be bruised and all kinds of messy stuff. Yep, stay tuned. We're all in for a nice little ride! As for her friends, idk, I think I just wanted to show a little of her world and what she'd have to deal with if anything *did* happen with Justin. Don't worry, they won't be around a lot lol. Anywho, thanks for the review, girl!
Author's Response: Yeah, a mess is pretty much inevitable, isn't it? Thank you though, I absolutely want the characters to remain likable throughout this all, so I hope it stays that way lol. Thanks so much for the review!
LKDSJFAOW WHAT I LOVE THIS.
Their banter is ADORABLE and seriously it is my favorite part of any relationship, ever. And you do such a spectacular job with it! I cannot WAIT for more, they're already so cute...and omg what is gonna happen?! I'm so curious!
And this line, "Zooey hung her head a bit sadly, watching him rise from their comfortable little spot outside with absolutely nothing." was wonderful. especially the 'little spot outside with absolutely nothing.' I'm not sure why it resonated so much with me, but man, it did! :)
Update soon!
Author's Response: Omg, well thank you! I love you for reading! I definitely work on making the interactions simultaneously believable and entertaining, so I love that you appreciate it. I'll try to keep it up. Obviously, I can't tell you what's gonna happen, but if you keep reading, I promise to keep updating! And I like the "absolutely nothing" line, too. I put it in there twice so it would resonate, for whatever reason. I guess I was trying to emphasize the simplicity of it all... sitting outside in the parking lot, just talking. I dunno, I like it. I'm glad you did, too lol. Thanks so much for the review, babe!
OK. I'll bite. Actually, I'll more than bite...you've got me hooked. (Blame my other half for the terrible fishing analogies!)
First, she's from Boston and that's kick ass. Secondly, you have this crazy, uncanny way of making your characters seems so authentic and genuine. I almost want to believe that this is Justin's life. So...more, please. :)
Author's Response: LOL no worries, I'll take whatever you give me. I'm glad you're hooked! And, I can't lie, I dislike most things involving Boston (like the Celtics and Red Sox), but it does seem like a pretty awesome city, so I thought Zooey could rock it. And secondly, omg I love you for saying that! I definitely try to make my characters realistic and have a... naturalness about them, so I can't thank you enough for saying that. THANK YOU.
Author's Response: Easy like Sunday morning! That's kinda what I was aiming for, I'm super happy that came across. Thanks so much for the review, darlin'.
Author's Response: Yay, I hope you keep loving it!
