8. Other People's Hearts Ch. 19

Whoa.

I am so glad you are back, and finished up this story.

I don't know how I feel about this ending and I am definitely conflicted, but ending does make sense since it is entitled "Other People's Hearts." It is well written. I hope you continue on with stories for the rest of the family (i.e. Lucas, and Adrian).

What happened?

Last I read Oliver and Lindsey got back together? Did I imagine that chapter? No oliver had gotten off waaaaay too easy with Lindsey as I recall, but they were getting together again. Lindsey is who we all thought he belonged with. I hate to say it, but I hate this ending and it ruined the whole series for me. Everyone else ends up with the person the story is about,except this book? It ruins the whole series, the beat of the books is off now

Salute from long time fan

Thanks so much for coming back to post this finale. Have often wondered how you were doing and whether you were continuing to write. I saw in your bio that you may not have any new stories planned, but who knows. I hope this chapter brings you many new readers and fans. Bravo!

Not sure what happened...

When I last read this series Oliver and Lindsey were getting back together. I don't really think this new ending does the story justice. I have to agree with some of the other comments. The whole story line is based on Oliver and Lindsey's relationship which I really enjoyed. I really wanted a happily ever after for these two.

Why did you delete the last chapters and change it?

This um isn't where you were going originally, and point of fact, Sylvia cheated. She's not worthy of oliver. He's not worthy of Lindsay right now, but you could have fixed that with the therapy they suggested. I don't know what this is, but you can't use this ending. When is Jeff ever Mentioned? Never, which is where he should have stayed. You ruined the series this way.this is about Lindsey and Oliver. I don't get this change at all. Please fix it, and whatever you do, don't print this ending. Sweep it under the rug and move on.

Did I imagine Lindsey and Oliver getting together?

I mean the girl friends interfering was wrong and weird but at least they were going somewhere. They needed therapy because of oliver and his issues (mostly that he had zero business with Sylvia after she cheated) but again therapy. Please change this horrid ending it doesn't match up with your other work at all. Feels like a different author.

Um could you comment author?

We want to know why you changed it. I don't get it, it makes zero sense with what you've told so far. Could you tell us why at least?

It's just a story. If you don't like the ending, just imagine a different one. In my imagination Oliver belonged with Sylvie. They had more in common and Sylvie loved Oliver for who he was, the depressed workaholic. Lindsay loved Oliver because he was handsome and he made her feel good about herself.

The theme of the book is loving multiple people at once. Sylvie left Oliver for Paul because she thought she loved him more. Oliver left Lindsay for Sylvie because he loved her more. Lindsay refused to engage with Oliver because she loved Jeff more. There had to be a Jeff so that Lindsay could make that call. She did for Jeff what Sylvie should have done for Oliver in the first place. Perhaps she is a better person, but that doesn't mean she and Oliver would have worked together long term. Booking in to see a couples therapist after being together for just a couple of months should be a major red flag that these two were never going to make it together long term.

But, like I said, this is all just make believe. If you want to write your own ending, go ahead. You can make the characters do whatever you like.

But you did change it right? Cuz I do remember the other much better version?

You did re write this though yes? Because I could have sworn that it was oliver who proposed to Lindsey after a set time and yes it was rushed,but it was better. I am curious why you choose to delete the other chapters and change them?

Author you haven't explained why you deleted and changed the story.

But if you're going to give crappy endings and make people think they've gone crazy I guess that's your prerogative. Don't think I'll be reading anymore of your work though if that's what we get in way of explanation. You ruined your story. Please don't publish that mess

Ending doesn't fit.

Oliver and Lindsey was what the story was all about. The character that you made with Oliver would have never forgiven Sylvie for cheating and would have never gone back to her, he would have never trusted her again (nor the family for that matter). It makes no sense. Oliver might have still cared but would have never forgiven her. I know that it's your story and all but it just doesn't fit with the character that you created. I'm not going to tell you to change it back because that's for you to decide. You are a good writer but the way that you ended this story makes no sense.

i get it

its like what oliver said you can love two people but you have to choose one and make it work. I liked that it wasn't a HEA between the two, but in life they made their decisions which worked for them, Olivier made his decision and we were given his future of his family and obvious happiness in where they are at. The foods were remenant of his love, I'm happy in love and I also if im honest have a remant of love for another. Ive just chosen this one and given my commitment to it

Brillant!!!!

I read the previous ending very enjoyable, and now your new direction. I'm happy you decided to chance this section of the story. This story has a happy every after with the right people. Oliver and Lindsey would had struggle in marriage. Thank you Bain
