Edit #2: Aright *takes deep breath*, so finally. Here we go.
Ok for starters, I'm really loving the sarcastic "nonchalant-How-To-Manual-esque" tone you've used.
Ugh the moments, the moments :') Truly though, that's what makes break ups from significant relationships the hardest, almost everything reminds you of them. You've got that down really well, amazing as a writer you are.
"One look at her and all your walls crumple down to the ground, all at once, because she gets on your nerves and she didn't even try."
^By far my favorite line. To me, this in essence captures the struggle they are going through quite well.
Ahh. Oh gosh. Ok. Wow. That was, um.
I don't even know how to articulate myself here.
First time in a really long time I read something through with a giant smile on my face even though I still had that nuanced heavy-hearted feeling showing up here and there as you blend the sarcasm with the reality of his bleeding heart. To say I loved it would be an understatement to what your writing made me feel. As of now, I can only say I'm super excited and relieved that there's more.
Onto the next part.
Part 2:
Aggh, I couldn't comment up until now because I didn't want to stop reading. I'm genuinely feeling for these two characters that I know don't exist. But this, "How do people really survive break ups? You don't know because you didn't." It really touches a cord. I feel like I know her, I can feel what she's feeling, I understand! That is the genius of your writing.
And that is your biggest tragedy.
Gosh that line. What do I do now?
At this point, nothing I say can be enough. Please write more and let me know when you do.
Finally, thank you Spree, for this experience.
