Did the reviewer finish reading the story? Yes

Plot tactic: Author sometimes skips days/weeks of the plot line between chapters, and I wasn’t expecting that, since the first few chapters are consecutive. This may help with your comprehension of the story.

First-off, the explanation of my “Readability/Grammar” rating. The grammar is impeccable, the readability not so much. This fic took me a little bit longer to read than it should have, and I think it’s because of how she wrote her paragraphs. It seemed like the beginning of a paragraph they would be speaking somewhere, and then it would say “they went here,” and in the next paragraph they were still talking, but they were something completely different. My recommendation for this story is that you DEFINITELY not take for granted what’s going on, and read every sentence very carefully. The problem with that, is that it makes it very difficult to actually get into the story you’re trying to read. I found myself more likely to skip down to the bottom of the page and then read up to it, so I just kept my hand on my mouse and continued scrolling down a few lines at a time so I didn’t have the chance.

As far as the angst/fluffiness goes, this story consisted of major situational problems that would cause anyone a great deal of emotional turmoil. The first chapter is a total tear-jerker, and it consistently talks about the issues that are going on, but in such a way where you don’t feel completely hopeless. This is a story of learning how to forgive yourself for your actions. No matter how upset Bella is, she is now at a point in her life where she’s trying to be worthy of the second chance she’s been given at life, and that drives a lot of her positive personal decisions, which is why I did not give it a higher "Angst" rating.
