Ohhhhhh! I need a box of Kleenex tissues..like NOW! Such an EMOTIONAL story, but before I post proper feedback, I would like to say "Happy bday Beth, have a great one!" *throws confetti* Ok, um..I really thought that Bethany wasn't gonna take Joshua, but then he told her the magic words, "i love you" EPIC! This line here “I really don’t care about the money. I’d rather be poor and in love than in a penthouse and all alone.”  Well said, I totally agree.. *claps* Though I was sad when his granmother died, this line here   “Life is just too short to be wasted, so waste it wisely.”  woww..above all, great job.. :)

Author's Response: thank you! i really didn't want to fictionalize love into something it isn't, and i think it is reasonably realistic that if a girl doesn't want to give men a chance because they don't show what she needs, and then one man is willing to do that, i would give them a shot too! thanks for all of the reviews so far!
