Summary:

But the chances of those happening are nil.
A million health issues that won't go away.
Parents determined to blow their vocal cords.
A concerned, troubled best friend.
A missing brother.
A strange, artistic guy.
A crazy girl determined to succeed.
What does that add up to?

Filled with laughs, probably not a whole lot of tears, butt-plants and balloons sprouting from kitty bums, follow Renee as she struggles to suppress her feelings(and sarcastic comments) and find her brother before it's too late.

Tags: Love/relationships

Oh yeah! I got wrapped up in the compliments I forgot to mention the "credentials"- in other words, what got me hooked and kept me reading. You made the characters believable; the conversations were very realistic and did not sound scripted. You were able to convey a comical, satirical character without an over use of words or cheesiness. I am one happy reader! And again tell me of your work!!!

I must say this is absolutely astounding! This is by far the best completed novel that I've read up here- I actually followed it to inkpop to finish it and I was not disappointed. Sure it had a few grammatical errors, but I almost completely forgot the fact that this was written by a fellow teen! No seriously, it felt like I picked this up of the library or bookstore shelf (perhaps Barnes & Noble ^.^) Keep it up! Do you have any other stories in the works or completed? I would seriously like to read them!

I really wanted to read the rest, so I looked on inkpop and I couldn't find it! I mean I did... Sort of... I searched 'Don't Need Anyone', but it didn't come up in the projects section, I could only find it in comments, and then it wouldn't let me see the actual story. Help!!!

Thank you for the comment! =] On my Word document, the notes are in an entirely different font that looks like handwriting, but on hear, you can't see Italics or different fonts. =P

 

I'll try to get to it, but I have a lot of reads to get to, and my comments are very long. I'll add it to my list. =)

This is a really interesting story!  I love that the narrator has secrets and a history that the reader has to discover!  Your writing style is clear and simple.  Good job!  When the girls are passing notes, however, it's unclear at first what they are writing to each other.  You probably have those words italicized in your document, because that would help to clarify.  Triteness, such as "diarrhea of the mouth," might be explained by the narrator's voice and first-person perspective, but otherwise try to avoid that.  Finally, I know it's nit-picky but "with a definitive clank" weakens the first sentence.  Maybe use a more active verb?  Anyway, your writing is compelling and clear.  Excellent job!  Five stars! I would really love to read your comments on my work?  My novel White Ribbon can be found in the Sci-fi/Fantasy section. :)
