This is a lovely story. I'm sure to reread this one several times. Thank you 🙂

Overall a great story but I would have loved to see Carla remain her love and become her partner.

I loved the story.

Good: I really loved this story. I got emotional at a couple of points.

Other: It seemed a bit rushed. It could have easily been a novella. The timing of Connie's therapy & transition also seemed rushed.

You ate a wonderful writer. Your character development was inspired. Some surprises along the way, but everything played out terrifically in the end. I just wish people could be as loving, accepting and understanding as the 'family' in your story. My Only criticism is that I can only give you 5 stars. Just make believe they are 5 Gold stars! Great job.

Lovely story, written with heart although as others have mentioned, a bit rushed in spots but great overall; was neat to read because I'm on estrogen finally and going through transition too (identify as trans femme non binary), estrogen is due to hormonal imbalance from birth and also being trans, only 16 months in and a long time to to, is an interesting journey so far; if I'd known the positives for my health (mentally, physically and physiologically I would have started 20 years ago when I was 18, better late than never though 😊

A great story :) But as people here already said, it's a bit rushed. I would love to read more about Connie's and Clara's relationship before, during and after the trasition and all teh mundane, day to day life ale a transwoman. If you would expand those areas this story has the potential to become several chapters long :) or even come out as a nice book :) Iwish you the best. And keep up the good work :)

Liked the story and gave it five stars. I would have liked to have read a bit more about the sexual explorations of Carla and Connie, they were almost there, a couple of times, then left me and suppose a few others, disappointed. That said the story was great, thanks.

You asked for critique

Good story that I read the entirety of - that's worth a few stars right there since I usually can't make it through Literotica stories. A good main character that was identifiable as well. The "Queen" of the high school was a refreshing change of pace oto.

Now then, there was too much tell, not enough show. Realism was right out the window too - e.g. high schoolers that don't try to fool around? Not a real thing, especially when the extra boys were added to the mix. Still, that can be hand-waved and overlooked. The passive matter of telling and not showing was what was really the most disappointing.

You write absolutely beautiful stories, personally I would class them more as love stories rather than plain erotica, and definately not porn. Definately a fan and will continue to reads your works.

I enjoyed the story, though having had HPV cancer, please note the doctor on page three, an oncologist, is the wrong specialist!

@anonymous... Yup, typo, should have been endocrinologist...

I so need an editor. LOL

Thanks for reading my stories

Another of your stories getting stuffed into the 'Favorites' bin. I wish I could have given higher marks to such a sweet story.

Wow! One of the best stories that I have ever read. Would have liked to know what happened to Carla though.

Nice story. Well written and engaging. Believable characters that become more complex as the story progresses.

AnonymousAnonymousabout 2 years ago

What a wonderful story! Well done! Very believable as well!

LOL Supreme Court Justice (Amy?) Comey Barret. An over the top Catholic belonging to a subset of Catholics that believe a marriage is Male dominate, as in all important decisions are made by the husband. Perhaps 100 to 200,000 people in the USA follow this Doctrine and she is a lifetime Supreme Court Justice. Wow. NOW, your story is excellent. I still don't know if Carla knew and planned his transformation from day 1. Me, since my cock is my best friend, lol, I would keep it and just dress up weekends to be with Carla and Amber

I do like the way you tell a tale. I must get a computer up and running to edit for you.

I love your stories and they touch me in so many ways. I know that times have changed and I wished I could be younger or as in this case have support like you show here. Love your stories when they make me cry.

Beautiful story! Love how they still love their "sister" even years later.

I love that Connie chose to be herself and spends life in the body of the woman she is.

Thanks for the closure. I'm glad Connie ended up happy.

I love your stories. This one is one of my favorites.

Five stars is too few! I loved this story. The transformation of Connie was believable and the help of an understanding “found family” was so nice after the rough childhood. And thanks for clarifying the wetness in her vagina.

Authors Notes: Lots going on right now. Wanted to give everyone a big heads up. The authors got together and challenged each other to write stories in exactly 750 words. Never one to back down from a fight, I wrote and submitted six. They span several categories; 2 Sci-Fi/Fa...
