A very good opening to your new endeavour! It needs a little bit of editing, but your story is pure gold, as usual. 🙂
Your descriptions of deep, complex characters with quirks and foibles, leading everyday lives while trying to overcome real or imagined hurdles, are as ever very engaging and spot on.
It’s always interesting to vicariously experience life in a society where marriage for a woman is still often considered to be the end goal. Where housewifery is a desirable — and even encouraged — career path.
Maybe I’m being presumptuous, but I get the feeling that mother and daughter will likely bond over dating preferences, eventually.
Onwards to chapter two…
P.S.
You're doing it again, writing a eonderful person discovery story with all the intense misgivings and desires. You have the ability to create in fiction the wonders of initial relationships and self discovery
Puff the magic dragon,that was my favorite song when i was a child many,many moons ago.thank you so much.
Puff the Magic Dragon you just time warped me back many years 😊 I'm so glad to find I have a new series of yours to read and it's started so wonderfully although I think I can see the pain train puffing into view. One hopes that the happy wagon is tootling up behind it. BardnotBard
Just beautiful! I am looking forward to continuing their journey.
As I have said before, you are a very talented writer.
Love it .Loved the fact that it wasn't filled with just sex but a good storyline.A buffing romance .It had my total attention.
I'd love to read a magnificent story when I come across one and I found it. Your writing is flowing and the story glides thru' easily. A breath of fresh air.
I am re-reading this story and am enjoying it just as much this time as my first reading. You have done a beautiful job of capturing the anguish that Mel is grappling with. Yes, she deserves to be loved and cherished so she can love herself, Sandy is just right for her. Thank you.
