@ zelaughingqueen  Well, I'm not necessarily very good at it, but I'm learning it and my mother is a native speaker... But maybe you should find someone who is from Russia (I'm ABSOLUTELY NOT good at grammar, yk) :')

Hi Mary!
          
          Luca here. New on Wattpad. I just finished reading The boy who didn't love. It's pretty good I must say. I especially love the Brady. I think he's harmlessly humourous. Your choice of using third-person (omni-present) narration was very efficient in letting us into Marina & Brady's relationship (Their thoughts and well, attitude). Their relationship is very realistic of an employee-employer relationship in real life. So, Bravo on that part.
          
          Now, for some constructive criticism. ( I won't be harsh.)
          
          I like Alice, who seems to be the main character and not Sawyer as the title implies. I kinda feel like there were some missed opportunities you could've explored in the story. Like, 
          1) With your choice of narration, you could've let us know a little bit more about Sawyer as an individual and not from Ali's POV. 
          2) You could've explored Ali and her grandma's relationship, leading us to care for her so that when you take her away it not only hurts Ali but hurts us too as the audience. 
          3) The time jumps were really huge. I mean i get that the pace of the story is fast but the jump we exponential! So, sudden. Made it feel rushed, like you got tired of writing your own story down the way and couldn't wait to reach the end. 
          
          So, yeah that's my feedback. I'm a writer myself too but I'm yet to share any of my work as i'm still new. Hopefully, when I do, you will offer me the same courtesy. I will be checking out your other works as I do like your style of writing. It's uhm, well, different. Keep writing!

@Lucalee27 no worries, i wasn’t offended in any way!

That makes sense. I understand that writers intentionally go about narrating their stories in a certain way for a reason. Also, sometimes we start something short but end up way too long and sometimes vice-versa. So, I completely understand. 
            
            I hope I didn't make you feel attacked. I always try to be polite.

@Lucalee27 hi, Luca! thanks for the feedback! as for the time jumps specifically, i totally get your point, but the story was meant to be short from the start -- meaning i had planned it on a specific timeline, and deviating from that would've just produced filler chapters. much of what you mentioned was indeed intentional, but i appreciate your viewpoint nonetheless. keep on writing as well!

I have a question can you put some of your other books on texttospeach I’m not the best reader cause I have dyslexia and texttospeach really does help but I understand if you can’t or if it messes up your books it’s just a question and all but I have read slow suicide and  love with all my heart keep it up love you ❤️‍

@call1me1wolfie1 hi, unfortunately i do not have any control over that. i'm not sure how it works since it's a fairly newer addition to wattpad, but i can't add texttospeech myself as the author. i'm so sorry, i hope wattpad fixes that, and thank you for reading!

i had The Boy Who Didn't Love in my library for a while and finally read and finished it just now. i really love how it was more simple in terms of plot while also keeping in more heavy topics, like death and grief. idk if that makes sense, but it overall felt like a lighter read and was very refreshing. i didn't feel overwhelmed with plot/back story/angst. i think a lot of books, you feel like you're being yanked back and forth between dark and light subjects, but your work was very easy to read. im not saying it was too simple, because obviously the whole premise is a heavier topic, but you wrote it very well i think. i really liked the way you wrote Sawyer as someone who was more accepting of his feelings instead of making him reject everything, its a nice change from what we usually see with darker characters. i also like the way you focused more on the characters rather than setting? im not sure if it was on purpose, but usually we get a lot of different settings and imagery, like we're going here and then there and then here again, but i liked how the place of work seemed to be the main base with the dash of other places, like the pier and the waterfall. im sorry for leaving such a long message, but you did a really great job.

@meatmuffy hi, thank you so much for leaving this well thought-out message! i completely understand what you're saying, and my intention was indeed to make a simpler love story -- as it is with many of my stories. i love that you were able to see the deeper messages behind it; i really appreciate you!
