you make it easy to relate to your characters. we've all been in a situation like pete, with the butterflies, and wanting (or better yet, needing) to keep your eyes on your (and i hate to use this term) "crush" because you don't want to miss a smile, or even a move that could possibly break your heart.
thanks for making me remember how it felt to be infatuated. you are an amazing writer, and i'm only at the first chapter.
