About This Author
I am a 40 year old married mother of two teenage boys. I live for writing, especially romance. Love the happily ever after scenerio. The best thing about writing for me is the ability to lose yourself in your work, and feel as if you've accomplished something great. At the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

Hello Purple Holiday Givings

I'm sending this review in connection with "Invalid ItemOpen in new Window..


*Penw* Positives

Your story vividly captures the bittersweet emotions of a summer romance coming to an end. Chelsea and Adam's relationship is beautifully portrayed, filled with tenderness and the realization of their imminent parting. The setting by the lake serves as a perfect backdrop, enhancing the romantic and wistful mood of the narrative. The detailed descriptions of their final moments together—the feel of the water, the warmth of the sun, and the intimacy of their interactions—are engaging and evocative, drawing the reader deeply into their world.


*Penw* Suggestions

While the emotional depth of the story is compelling, I think the narrative could benefit from a bit more conflict or a subplot to deepen the story and add layers to the characters' relationship. Perhaps introducing some earlier scenes that hint at their future challenges or exploring their backgrounds more could provide a richer context for their emotions and decisions. Additionally, I feel like the conclusion could be expanded to offer a clearer sense of closure or hint more strongly at what the future might hold for them, beyond the promise of staying in touch.


*Penw* Overall

The narrative is a poignant exploration of young love, characterized by its intensity and the inevitable goodbye. The dialogue between Chelsea and Adam is natural and heartfelt, effectively conveying their mutual affection and the pain of separation. With a bit more complexity in the plot and deeper exploration of the characters' pasts or internal conflicts, the story could gain even greater emotional impact.


Respectfully,
