Interesting start, but you need to work on making Jonathan seem human. I get that you want each of the characters to be distinct, but the narration when the story is being told from his perspective is unbearable. He may talk out loud like an awkward overly formal weirdo, but nobody thinks "What a fine specimen of the male variety" to themselves. It's hard to identify with him and care about what happens to him when he is so robotic. The drama should come from him acting like a prude while a secret fire rages within, not him actually being an unlikeable prude.
A new treat from one of my faves I'm excited. The preppy guy and bad boy trope is one I've yet to encounter so I'm really invested, looking forward to the next update.
In response to an earlier comment, the prologue explains Jonathan’s distant demeanor. I think this was a realistic depiction of someone who got in so much trouble, reportedly because of a straight jock, that he was forced to relocate. I read it as someone who is afraid to fall in the same trap again. Knowing the author, it was just so intended. Great start. Cannot wait for the next chapters.
I'm all set for another wonderful ride. Quality writing and great storytelling once again from one of my favorite authors here,
Where is the next chapter Laura?????? don’t leave us high and dry here lmao
Dear Laura. I’m dying here… please where’s the next chapter? We can’t wait. 👏
@Anon asking about updates - I posted the second chapter a few days ago, but its status right now is still 'pending' I suppose that it will appear soon. Thank you for liking my story!
Since I started rereading this awesome story I will make new comments, I must say JJ did not impress me. His bestie did as did Mad Dawg and his besties.
