All Comments on 'Why’d You Ever Have to Say Goodbye'

This is a wonderful story - the characters are credible, relatable and fun to be with. They are also ordinary people, everyday people, like us. It is well written and nicely paced.

The first part of the story is enchanting as their love begins. You perfectly capture the attraction, excitement, anxiety, silliness, fun and laughter. It was a pleasure to read. The second part, as the relationship develops, continues with great dialogue and repartee, but I found the sex scenes overly long and repetitive. Realistic, maybe, but could be shortened, I think. You signposted the possibilities but the ending was a surprise - I wasn't ready for that. It made a big impact on me. Well done and thank you.

PS If you are looking for a writing challenge, a sequel would be interesting. Maybe Lisa's view from a few years later...

Thanks Des.

Fuck! What a msgnificent opus. This has taken the genre to another level. Thank you.

Thanks Peapod... that's quite a comment!

There’s many reactions, for me, reading Lit… turned on, annoyed, disappointed but 23 pages and I’m leaking tears. Not cool on a 57 yr old bloke - great story, characters snd true Lou heartbreaking. I’ve fought that darkness for years so I can relate but I hold on for those few who love me. Thanks for a great story

What a beautiful and sad story. I cried a little when I figured out what would happen and didn't want to read the ending. Thank you very much

Thanks all. there were tears writing it too. I hold on too, Barkinbeast. I will admit I nearly didn't submit this, but glad i did now.
