I am not a literature buff, never will be. I like stories like this, straightforward, showing human feelings and situations, whether fictitious or not. Well done
The standard of your writing must be quite high because I found I was getting angry at the bigotry within a few paragraphs. A first-rate piece of work. There is one small editing error on the first page: Father says "Have Peter and Amanda arrived yet?"/
"I don't think so," replied Amanda..." You were probably typing too quickly---these little mistakes are easy to make.
You really caught the mood of that era. Lovely story. And hot enough, too. 😉
Terrific writing, as always, and excellent handling of the time and place setting. I got caught up in the tension of what would happen, always a sign of a well-crafted tale. Well done!
Truth be told, it has changed very little. Lesbian's are a bit more accepted than gay men, especially if neither true to play the butch type. But gays and transsexuals.
You built the tension the women were facing so well I scanned through the sex to find out if they would get safely away. Well done!
...but a lot of tension. I was expecting them to have some confrontation with the parents. Well written and ratcheted up that tension nicely.
How about a sequel to show how they got on?
5 stars.
