OMG, this was fantastic. Read it in a go with only a couple of breaks. The emotions rang through.
Thank you.
Wow! This is one epic story. It has it all: drama, romance, hot girl sex and a fascinating look into the music life. Couldn't be better. All the stars and thanks for posting, Randi.
I enjoyed this, just one request from an American fan, if possible could translation be posted? Still a 5 tho
Excellent as always. I have simply no idea how you do it but please persist!
Thank you for the pleasure I gain whilst reading your tales
What an absolutely wonderful story! I totally love it, you’re such a talented writer and the very few errors doesn’t bother me a bit since your story is so beautiful and well written.
I especially like your stories set against a music background. It's clear that as the song puts it, "music is your first love." A 5* romance, nicely done.
Damn you to hell, Cagivagurl. You keep coming up with outstanding stories of these beautiful people working through all sorts of adventures and I have to rejig my order of favourite stories yet again.
A first class read. I didn't want to put it down and never noticed the length.
What happened to Charlotte bringing a date to the wedding? Was she just asking if she could as a test?
As always Cagivagurl, just like many of your other stories, this story was incredible. What a journey I've been on reading this masterpiece. The characters were all amazing and at times I felt real empathy for some of the girls when the love they had was kinda unrequited.
There were times when the story was frustrating though, as I was desperate for the main characters to see sense & finally get together! I'm so glad they did!
Being a Boro girl (Smoggie) I'm pleased my town was mentioned.... Our rivalry is even worse with the Geordies and Mackems!
I have to say that I did love the banter between Charlotte and Tui's Dad :). There were also times when I literally did have LOL moments reading some of the dialogue and character conversations, it was genius!
You can tell you've put so much into this work and I for one thoroughly reading it. If I could rate this more than 5 stars I would! I can't wait to read even more of your stories in the future.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
There really should be an option better than just five stars...this was another true epic...at your suggestion, I took a few days to read it all the way through and felt that I was able to better appreciate the story.
Just a truly beautiful story.
What an excellent story, well worth the time taken to plough through it. The cast of characters were very believable and, more importantly, likeable. This is one of these "I wish I could give it more than five stars" stories. Very well done.
Wow! That was terrific! You had me hooked from the beginning. And yes, it did take me a couple of sittings to get through it but it was worth it!
A lovely big dipping roller coaster ride, far too short a story (smile), thank you!
Best story I've read on Literotica for some months (probably since your last one). Thank you so much for the enjoyment I've had reading this all day as I couldn't put it down.
Love your long format stories. All 21 pages were more enjoyable not having to wait for the next part to be published.
Love the descriptive sex scenes mixed into the story.
I think this epic story is your best yet. I cried several times while reading it. I loved the look into a musician’s soul - that was a path not taken for me, but I recognize many things in your story. It took a long time for the payoff with Abby but it helped with the plot tension and was well worth the wait.
Wonderful and for all 21 pages, what an achievement, love the local colour and thank you for what must have been quite a labour of love.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and more if I could brilliant well told, I must say you are my favorite storyteller, so hard to stop reading and go to bed and then have to wait till next day to continue.
Well written getting the characters motivations. A little passé getting all the characters romances/interactions resolved like soap operas, however romance stories I think are allowed that latitude. you did it masterly. Well worth the read
Loved it. I knew Tui and Abby would end up together. Glad Joe and Charlotte hit it off as well. Nicely developed with some twists and turns even if I knew how it would be resolved.
The fucking dialog was so earthy that I could feel the local culture in it. Magnificent. The German, the Pakeha, the Maori … all very present and delightful. The rest of the world knows so little about the real NZ, it's nice to see a bit inside the culture.
This was a great story, with great characters, with enough words to more than do them justice. It was fucking luxurious, it felt so real.
Technically, the craft was way better than even two or three stories ago (in publication order). Far fewer problems with misplaced or missing commas. The reading of it was far easier because of it. Balancing showing and telling is a huge issue for writers, and in my opinion, you got the balance much better than previous stories. There were a couple of long dialog stretches where the "she"s and "her"s could not make it clear who was saying what; I little more dialog attribution would be appreciated. The increased (compared to previous stories in these same regions) visibility of the Maori culture was definitely appreciated—no way in hell did I expect Google Translate to include Maori, but it does!
I seriously don't understand how you can crank out this many words in this (apparently) short time and have it come out so good. I can't do that; I wish I could.
Last thing: I was REALLY hoping that the four of them would get back in the van and busk their way around both islands for the honeymoon. Would have been choice.
Well, who knows? Maybe they did…
Another brilliant story! (as always) Loved all the interactions, twists and turns. Look forward to the next one!
All characters flawed and yet truly worthy of respect and love, emotionally rich and deep; a suspenseful plot with no skulduggery or villainous interventions to set off the action; dialogue and writing rich and deeply evocative, and that wonderful sense of music; any one of those would make a good story, when they all combine, it makes something extraordinary. (Sorry about the lack of verbs; got some Ukrainians staying and their lack of the verb "to be" is catching!)
Fantastic to be able to relate to all the locations and the culture. But hey, they drove up the coast past Granity and Hector- what about Ngakawau, doesn't it warrant a mention?
It’s always the same. I see the word count and say “I can’t read all that.” But I do and you draw me in so quickly and completely and I really don’t want it to be over when I am finally done. Thank you so much for taking the time to weave such a lovely story and sharing it.
Five stars are absolutely not enough …… a masterpiece ….. absolutely fantastic ….. and yweah a winding steep road but made up in an enchanting beautiful tale …… i shed lots of tears and smiles …… this tale is so absolutely very special, you’re an extraordinary writer

One of the best stories on this site. I immediately saved it in my favourites. It develops slowly, is passionate, caring. I loved all the characters. The charming personality of Claudia, the warmth of Tuis dad, loveley.
