Nicely paced and written. Needs a little better proofreading (grammar/typos), but the characters are believable and well drawn. Nice job on Beau, with her first impression. I enjoyed this one a lot. Thank you.
A sweet, simply-but-well-told tale. I tend to shy away from stories this long, but you captured my interest with very good characters.
Good thing you chose your own moniker there, Overcritical! That explains you, and we don't have to worry about you any more. The rest of us quite like the story, and the author. You go on ahead and search for what floats your boat. More for us to enjoy!
Demure, you write real stories about real people. Don't you let overcritical folk stop you from doing what you do best. Remember, the world still loves Vivaldi's music...even with all the repetition! Because you know, at the end of the day, Scripture is right...there's nothing new under the sun. :)
I just finished "Lizzie" and liked it although it was too long. I started "Barbra", got a page into it and realized we have here another story of a widow who spends ten pages searching, has a page of sex and finds a replacement for her beloved deceased husband. They say that Vivaldi wrote one concerto in his life and then composed 500 variations on that theme. I think we have someone who is trying to emulate that style and I don't think I'm buying into that template. I gave this a 2* and will move onto other authors.
A fabulous very well written story
Maybe Ben could meet Beau`s mother
really enjoyed the story look forward to their next chapter
