The point of narration (having a "break" of four years) was very appropriate. I love how you structured this chapter. Perfect ending. (Meaning it´s completely in line with the rest of the story.) I´d like to keep this under my pillow forever, just the way it is. This whole story.
If you write a sequel to this, I´m gonna read it but if you want my honest oppinion I think the story is done. (I´m expecting hate-mail in my email account for this one. ;) ) We´ve received a peek into Izzy´s life and it was highly moving and exceptional on so many levels. I think that it made every single reader of yours empathize with our beloved Izzy.
However, I know that you can continue to write amazing fiction like this so, I guess, you will not disappoint us if you do write a sequel. Whatever you decide to do, start another story soon because ficwad wouldn´t be the same if you didn´t. :)
Author's response
I had thoughts about not doing a sequel, but my imagination has so many thoughts coming up in the life of Izzy, Pete, and the rest of the gang, that I wanted to make it two parts, due to the fact that I didn't want the story to lag on and seem too long. I hope I don't disappoint you with a sequel. It's going to have to live up to great standards. Thanks for your constant reviews! They rule!
