this was a complex layered story. I thought it was different than the stuff you usually write. Way to challenge yourself?
Very nice start looking forward to hearing more about Jen. I do hope you continue.
"If you can slide so easily into someone else's life, did you have one to begin with?" Not a criticism, more a tag line for a great thoughtful story.
You created a beautiful and emotional story that was a joy to read. I did wonder about why the father wanted to get rid of his daughters things so adamantly and along with her mother stating that it would kill him if he found out what was going on with his son. I also found it unusual that nobody thought to wonder what happened to Jens brother and none of her friends ever wondered how she was in school after her funeral? I still hope you continue with this storyline. It is a great topic and I would really appreciate seeing how this plays out. Thanks for posting it
Metroalma made an excellent observation. Whatever the back-story may be, this was a well constructed tale with depth of emotion, tension, exploration, and personal growth. I was surprised Jen/John wasn't required to see a psychotherapist, but fiction is fiction.
So long as you keep in mind that this is a fictional story it is a pretty good read.
Kind of weird in a few places, but hey, it is a story.
I am sure the author could take it into another full length writing which would likely have all the thrills, heartbreak, drama and impossible situations that this one has.
I guess we wait to see !
thank you Jackie .
