Title: Chapter 17: Down the Rabbit Hole
Okay, first off, this was such a great story. You did such a wonderful job unfolding the storyline, creating the charactes, and I loved every moment. So my hats off to you, because this story will be missed.
I am glad Ollie and Kylie went their seperate ways. It was the definately the right thing for him to do, he was bad for her, and it seemed like he finally realized that. Her not telling him she was a writer was a clear example of how being with him affected her, and it seemed like she grew out of the relationship a bit, needed something different in her life.
I'm okay with her being with Alex, though it doesn't really feel very permanent to me. Just something she needs to help her heal. But that may just be my take on the story, I think it really comes down to what's best for her in the end.
So yeah, a lovely end for a fantastic story. Thanks for sharing with us greatodin, you bring perfection as always.
Author's Response: Thank you TBG, it feels wonderful to read that! I'm back and forth over whether I do a sequel but there is this part of me that can imagine where they all would be in five years. You're absolutely right Kylie needed to grow, they both did and it wasn't the right time for them to be together.
And you also make a great point about Alex, he is helping her to heal. But long term who knows, I think Kylie is happy to focus a lot on embracing who she is and become a fully realized woman. I see Kylie as someone who never really dreamed before she just kind of moved through life making spontaneous decisions and just living day by day I think she's ready to tap into that part of herself that wants to follow her dreams and not be tied down. How Alex fits into that for the moment is up to the reader. But I didn't just want for it to be that after everything she went through with Ollie, now she's head over heels in love with Alex and they all live happily ever after, it didn't feel true to the story or the characters.
Again thank you for all the awesome comments and reviews and sticking with me through this story!
