Okay this story has been in my faves forever...i finally fnished it today and i have to say i loved it... thanks for writing such a wonderful story.

Hello. I'm so glad to have found your story. Well Bella's been dealt one hell of a really crappy hand! I hope her new beginning is the start of better times. Can't wait to read more!

really likign this thank you for sharing

I'm not sure what was harder... clicking complete on the first thing I ever wrote, or reading the end of the first fic I ever read.  It had become almost like that story with the girl who is determined to live until the last leaf falls from the vine.  As long as DBS was out there, I had to keep reading.

Well, now that I'm hooked - on the reading and the writing - there is no chance that I'll stop, but it's still surprising how emotionally I'm reacting to the last chapter of this story.  I'll have to get my own bottle (although no tequila, because that makes my filter malfunction and my panties fall off) and box o'Kleenex.

The proposal we perfect.  Really.  I know people say that all the time, but fer serious.  For these characters, as you've so lovingly written them, this was perfection.  Her list and her journals were such an integral part of her journey (her discovery) and their relationship, that Scone Boy was a genius to open the discussion by posting it on the list.  I really adored it.

The discussion between Bella and Esme at the cafe was brilliant.  I hadn't really thought about how much each would benefit from the presence of the other.  Thank goodness they are close now, so she can have Esme to help her during the wedding planning.

Thank you for giving us this gift.  Thank you for sticking with it when you had four stories going and needed to get some semblance of order to your life.  Thank you for coming back and putting such a perfect conclusion in place.  Thanks for taking my fanfic v-card!

*mwah*

Awww. I love that you stuck with it and I am so honored that I took your cherry! 

Glad you liked the proposal. I felt that it was very much "them" and so I'm just tickled that you agree.

The Esme thing took me by surprise, too; it was never part of my outline, but as I wrote and talked to them, I realized they'd come full circle and given something back to each other.

Thank you for sticking with me during the break, and for always being a great and faithful reviewer. ILY.

i loved this story. very well written.... i appreciate you taking the time to write it.

Thank you so much for this review. I'm glad you enjoyed the story :)  There will be one outtake posted soon, I hope! :)

i dont like this girl on girl action.

it makes me uncomfortable and a little nauseous, but that might be the twizzler i just ate.

I have spend the past few days reading this.  Oh, how I enjoyed it.  I was bad about reviewing each chapter so I give you one big fic review.

I loved Bella's plan.  She was truly amazing for having gone through so much and to be able to survive that and be determined to live a life is astounding. 

I am such a canon girl yet somehow, I didn't gross out when Bella dated (and more) with Jasper, Emmett and Tanya.  I was proud of her for trying and exploring all her options and even prouder when she saw the connection between J/A and did the right thing.

Then there was Edward. Oh, my Edward - you can give me a hot, horny, sweet, smart, pervy Edward anyday and twice on Sunday.  He was just, beyond words with her.  He made me very happy.  He not only knew her so well but he understood her too. 

I may have swooned (alot) when he proposed over and over again.  That was adorable but ending this with Bella asking him was perfect.

This was such an incredible story.  I am so glad that I read it.  Thanks for writing this and sharing it with us.

What an amazing story! The last 2 chapters struck me as particularly wonderful.  I loved the theme of this one.  A journey of self realization is something we all need to do.  You wrote a truly wonderful, funny, romanctic and real love story.  I love your work and look forward to whatever you have planned next.  BTW...the ending was perfect.

Author's Response:

Thank you so much for this very kind review. I'm so glad you thought the ending was perfect; I was so worried.  Up next is finishing Paper Moon, which hasn't been posted at all here yet. And, the outtake for DBS of course, and my Fandom Gives Back auctions :)
