I love that Emmett didn’t marry Rosalie, though I hate that Amalie’s daughter is now a successful actress. I can hold a grudge, and I did not want Amalie’s family to get away with using Edward. Which they did. Bella is just too nice. I hope the devil offspring goes on to become a Lindsay Lohan.

Death to Jessica!

Edward is a dick. He is taking out his former frustrations with his ex fiancée on Bella. As for Amelie?,! Yeah, she knew damn well what she was doing. I wouldn’t doubt she paid someone to take the picture.

Amalie is once again using Edward to further her daughter’s career, by using Bella. The second Bella meets the teenager pictures will be plastered everywhere. The onLy one who does not see he is being used is Edward.

Not to mention he is being a holier than though asshole. It’s okay for him to cut dinner to meet patients, but she has to drop her director and ruin her career whenever Edward wants attention? No, just no.

I hope Simone was blackballed, and that Emmett dumped Rosalie. It’s the only thing Rosalie wanted out of a relationship with him was a ring, well then, he should get rid of the golddigger.

I’m with Bella here, and want Alice to be unleashed on Amalie.

Wow, I was already to nag about Esme’s old-fashioned mentality, and caring too much about what other people think, but damn, her origin story is just wow. I wonder if any reporters will uncover her past now that Bella is dating Edward?

Death to Eric! Or if not actual death, than professional death to him. He shouldn’t be working on Broadway, he should be dressing mannequins at dress barn.

A mom is still a mom no matter how old children get.

Gosh, Libbie – where to start?! I remember years ago, one of my first fanfics was your wonderful “Finding the Key”, and yet I had never moved on to your AH stories. I’m so glad I finally did (9 years after it was completed!). This has got to be one of my top 10 favorite AH stories ever.

OK, so I’ll start with the character development. So good! I loved them both, of course, along with the supporting cast. I thought you were spot-on about how each of them would react to their initial attraction, about each one’s struggle for balance between their own world and the other’s. That airport scene – the first time Edward sees what Bella’s life is really like - was so vivid, I really felt like I was there with him.

I also felt that the obstacles that they had to grapple with were a really interesting exploration of what this kind of relationship might be like. Both Edward and Bella remained themselves, bravo. And neither one gave up anything they weren’t willing to.

I even have to admit I put off reading the last few chapters because I didn’t want the story to be over. I was shocked to see the review count – IMO this should be one of those 10,000-review stories. I would be happy to review each chapter, but I can’t imagine that after all this time out of the fandom, you really want the feedback. (I warn you that my reviews tend to be quite detailed.)

Thanks also for leaving this story where we can find and enjoy it. I see from your reviews that I’m not the only reader who has found and loved this story recently. I do hope that somewhere you are still writing, because you have a gift.

Nice ending! I loved this for writing it and sharing it with us all.

So everyone is blaming Edward? I call bullshit. I got your back Edward Bella is a lucky bitch in this story. Just saying.

A fucking letter Bella? Fly there girl and beg him in person to forgive you because you really fucked up. Seriously who confides and a director they just met as if they were friends. And that mother of yours.

Sorry I’m with Edward here. Bella needs a reality check. Edward gave up everything and she treated him as an afterthought. His own sister should have had his back too. Shame Alice. Actors! Egos are their speciality even the great, generous and sweet ones.

Rosalie’s entrance at last and again I’m left thinking why Emmet? Why? Anyway, I think Bella is being slightly selfish. She’s a big enough star where she could live where she wants and fly in for meetings and projects. Look at how many stars live in NYC. Also, Edward will get there and she and Alice will travel for movies and press junkets months at a time and he will have no friends or support system when the press writes crap about her and her costars just to make his life miserable. I don’t see how it can last long term in that place. It’s where relationships go to die and they deserve HEA.
