I think this story is fantastic! I could not stop reading and though I am not finished I think the author is very talented and I hope that you continue writing stories!

'lo, and sorry I didn't review previous chapters. Funnily enough I came across this before, but didn't review - don't ask why, I honestly don't know, I get into weird funks sometimes where I have nothing to say - so finding it again, and reading it again, was fun. And very much enjoyable.
I really do like how you'e protrayed Rita and her struggle. I have a Sri Lankan friend whose parents wanted him to take double science although he wanted to take Drama instead...I offered that he could join Drama Club, so he could still take double science, but indulge his own interests as well, and when he told his parents, well...they kicked him out of the house for a night for being 'insubordinate' and 'inconsiderate' and all of that. So I can see Rita's struggle, I really can...and let me tell you, the fact that my suggestion caused my close friend to get in such trouble really hurt. I've never made such a stupid suggestion since.
Anyway.
I also like how she's been conditioned to not say no. Everyone can say "oh, it's so easy, just say no and you'll be standing up for yourself" but when it's your parents you're standing up against in the beginning, saying no is all but impossible. After a while, it starts bleeding into the rest of your life. And you make that believable here, very real.
I like Lex, I really do. And Kris as well...Tash's story is sickening, meaning what happened to her is sickening. And I absolutely despise Alexander...thought you should know.
Anyway, happy writing - and I hope everything goes well with college.
If you're still in need of a Beta, I'm willing.

Yay, you updated! I'm so sad after reading this chapter. Aww, reading about Lex being sad made me almost want to cry, especially when you got to the part about visiting Tash.
I can't wait to find out more about Sean, the elder brother, oh.

OH MY GOD! You are alive! I swear when I saw this, I stared at the screen for about five seconds, went to go wash my face to make sure I was still awake. Wow.
Thanks for the update (heh). It was sad to see Lex so broken like that. I love Rita, she's cool. I think i've said that before. I'll Beta if you want, but the going will be slow. Still though. I'll probably just focus on grammar and stuff unless you want me to look for something. Dunno.
