What what what?! So much just happened so, so fast! I'll leave a better review later once I read it again, as I'm only reviewing now in shock (lol).
She quit?! And not because Bill was being a bastard, but because she didn't want to sully his name because she defended him?! I think I love Andy, I could never have that kind of courage.
Seriously, I'll review again later, I promise. But oh snap, I need to process.

This is my favorite subscription right now! If you could update 5 times day... just kidding; that's a rediculous request. Anyways, that's sooo cute that he fell asleep on her. cuuuuteeee!!!
Author's Response: I'd love to update five times a day, but then I'll have to write faster, which means I would study even lesser than I am now...and I really don't want my mother to kill me, nor do I want to flunk. I HAVE to go to college!! Thanks for the review!

Hello!
For whatever reason, I didn't receive notification that you updated the last several chapters. The last one I received an e-mail for was chapter 2, so I'm sorry I didn't review earlier! I saw your shout-out asking where I was, but I'm not sure if that was for the lack of reviews (lol) or because you replied back to my suggestions regarding your first chapter (if you did, I didn't get the reply -- is THF off or something?).
In any case, I received word of chapter 6, and here I am to review all that has happened so far.
I like that you're setting up a possible romance, but still creating obstacles in its believability -- you know, by making Bill still bitch at Andy, making him go out on a date with perfect Bianca (who needs to make an appearance, if for nothing else but to rub in her perfection -- angstangstangst), et cetera.
I also like how you're slowly developing and layering Andy's character, by bringing in little bits of information about her past and her family -- the section on her mother was short, but spoke volumes about her childhood (which is how it should be; too often, it's easy for stories to get stuck in the past, or the characters are just kind of thrown in rapid-fire until you forget who's who and everyone gets jumbled). You have a way with inserting information in a subtle, pleasant way that gives light foreshadowing to those who notice, and a an easy-breezy way of adding characters without it being overwhelming. I hate it when there's a million character inserts that are made to be crazy so that the main character looks more normal in comparison. So annoying. But you don't do that, so that makes me happy. I also like that Georg's present just by association, and you didn't make this a story about two or four girls falling in love with TH. Also annoying. I like that it's an established relationship that you can introduce and play with however you want while still keeping them as minor characters. Too many main characters makes my head spin.
The bit between Andy and Tom was nice. I won't lie and say I wasn't hoping for a good-old-fashioned love triangle, but if Bill is truly in love with Andy and Tom knows it, he'll only try to play matchmaker (which is fine, just pointing it out lol). I liked the quick scene between the two of them :).
I'd say more, but this review is getting ridiculously long (they tend to get long, as I'm a chatterbox lol) and I have cleaning to do and stories to write. Please update soon! :D. (note: Yes, I'm aware that four chapters at once should have been enough for me, but I really like your story hahahaha)
Author's Response: *Glomps* I missed you sooo much!! I really look forward to your reviews, and that was why I called out for you, not really because of 'lack of reviews'. When you tell me about my story, I see everything from a completely different prespective, which gives me more ideas about how the story's going to go. And not because I get flattered (though I do, a little). That happened with only one reviewer before, a friend of mine. We would argue about the story and plot for ages, since she would question every word I wrote. It's very rare that I find a reviewer I can 'connect' with, although I appreciate every review I get. So, yeah. That should explain the shoutout.rnrnI answered this before, but the only reason I'm not putting in a love triangle is because its a very over used ploy in het. And it tends to give the OFC a Mary-Sueish feel, when two guys fall for her. Highly unbelievable, that a ordinary looking person like Andy has so many people after her (which is exactly why 'Twilight' failed to appeal to me. If Bella's so ordinary, why's she such a great prize?)rnrnIt is VERY flattering, how you've dissected and praised my writing, but to be honest, I don't think so much when I write. Overthinking my writing makes me sound presumptious (a quality only desirable in academic essays)and I hate that. rnrnSo, no. Your review wasn't too long, and like always, it gave me an idea. Thanks :).

Oh my god, I almost had a heart attack when I saw Pondicherry! I'm from there! Well, not exactly, but I'm from Tamil Nadu, lol.
Anyways, I am really liking your story, it's the only het story I am reading at the moment. You are doing an amazing job! No Mary-Sueness at all and very perfect writing. I love it! It iso hard to find a het story like this one. Good job!
Author's Response: You're from Pondicherry? Wow, that is so cool! I didn't think I'd find anyone from there on here! I haven't actually been there for the last few years...wonder if its changed much.rnI'm glad that you like my story, and thank you for the review!
