All Comments on 'Bookstore Girl'

The opening exchange at the bookstore checkout absolutely delightful — read more than once simply for the enjoyment. As a near hopeless romantic loved the way you moved this romance along — just enough uncertainty on both parts created some uncertainty in the reader about the outcome. Very creative. Aside: Stephen Jay Gould and Joseph Stiglitz — definitely eclectic taste. Have read much of Gould’s work; his Reflections in Natural History series so entertaining/clever; especially liked The Panda’s Thumb. Your concise excision of creation science perfect. This is second or third piece of yours read; will definitely read others and look forward to more in future.

This was a cute story

Jeez, abrupt ending much?

Very cute story, though.

Well played and well done. Just the right amount of drama emotions and sex. Cheers

Maeve sounds like a narcissist

Throughly enjoyed your story. Zooey you made very coquette in the early part of story which I found very refreshing. I found ending was a little abrupt but you did explain the near future of the characters.

Googled the Luddites: am now a labour crusader. Thanks Jackie!

Apropos for a story about bookworms to have such witty repartée. Props to Maeve for drawing a clear line on alcohol=infused seduction. The evolution debate at the start seemed a little odd, but it turned out a shrewd bookend (cough) to the scene with Chastity. Something something reading between the lines. ;)

PS: Since no story about bibliophiles would be complete without pedantic proofreading: 'utilities' is misspelled 'utilizes'.
