Shit, pure utter shit. I think in Nadine's perspective, here is what it looks like: Thatcher has a son with Nicola, he should be happy for him. Though she can't totally forgive him, what she should be thinking is that he has a family not that he wants her back again! That is too, dare I say it, illogical to think at the moment since she doesn't know about what is happening between Thatcher and Nicola. And when he's back all she could think is that "it's over"? I think that is not how a proper mind works, it should be that she thinks that Thatcher is back with Nicola and their son and being a good father he is, he will fix it, not about him wanting her again.
Forgive me for ranting, but I thought what would happen would be that they will slowly explain things and slowly weaken their walls (if that's what you're intending to do). I love QoaQR (one of my favourite stories) and I thought that this story is about getting mature. I hope I won't be this dissapointed though, I will still keep reading! And please don't be selfish with Skylar, if they will not be together, it's unfair for him to be so caring and doesn't given justice(happiness) :D I am shipping Nadine x Skylar atm. 3

Holy hell, I've been binge reading all your stories. Im so hooked. Your characters, ALL of your characters, are so so...real. I wish I could write characters the way you do, holy moley. Because I've been binge reading literally everything you've posted, I havent reviewed anything yet, sorry! I just get so sucked up in a story, then I want more and more and yea. My undetected canoodling is my fav of all of your stories, I think. (I think I actually might have written a lil review, cant remember, Ive been reading your stuff for like, two days.) I think standing on the edge is my second fav? I mean, it isnt finished yet *loud sigh* (sorry, so far ive been able to read and complete all your stories, aside from this one and sote, I guess I got a lil spoiled bc of that, I hate waiting D: ) but every one of your characters in that makes my heart hurt in some weird way. I want to hug them all and make them hot cocoa. And ive noticed a semi theme in your stories, boys that are sorta broken. not gonna lie, I love it. you see allll these stories featuring broken girls that find prince charming and are fixed, but thats not always realistic.(even if its kinda nice) Javi makes my heart hurt the most. Poor baby *whine* and yea. GOD I LOVE EVERYTHING YOU WRITE. when I first read the description for wyotu I wasnt sure if I'd like it, im not always into the 'spoiled rich kid thats deeper than he seems' and yet, reading it, I just loved it. you have a way of writing things that are almost cliches (loving your bff, like in muc, spoiled rich boy, 'dark, mysterious boys') and just...taking them in another direction. you have a way of surprising me with things that I hadnt thought would be surprising. and I LOVE it. never stop. and of course, qoaqr. I started reading it once a while back, but didnt get into it right away. (i believe it was when nadine was getting dressed up for skye's party, and her first date with thatcher. sometimes, dress up scene irk me. but only when its clothing that I hate, LMAO. I am not a fan of even slightly baggy pants, honestly. at least, not baggy like, around the thighs and up, you know? jesus christ im rambling about PANTS.) anyways, where was i? oh yea, I didnt get into it right away. But then I read muc and was hooked, and read wyotu, and sote, and by that time, I was sure id love anything you write. (im still pretty sure thats true, tbh.) (random thought, I was totally gonna like, be all grammatically correct, and not use slang or text talk, but its late and Im too lazy to fix anything, sorry omg)
Oh and a lesson in love is making my heart all fluttery and there are butterflies in my tummy, and you know a story is good when it gives you tummy butterflies, just saying.
I dont know what im going on about anymore, so Ill end with this.
NEVER STOP WRITING. EVER EVER. BECAUSE EVERYTHING YOUVE WRITTEN, HAS NOT DISAPPOINTED ME, AT ALL.
I would probably enjoy reading your freaking dream journal, tbh. That sounds weird, kinda stalkerish. I promise im not like, obsessed with you or anything. I just reaLLY LIKE what you write. Okay I should stop now omg okay.

Ah! I lovr Thatcher and Nadine and how much they love each other and how adorable they are and thank you so much for sticking with this story. I remember thinking that you would never update but then you did and it's so amazing! Sorry for the run-on sentence; I am just really excited!

I just finished reading over your story again and I've come to realise that the first time I read it I wasn't really reading it, does that make sense. As I was reading it AGAIN I was brought to tears by some of the scenes and my god I love Nadine and I love Thatcher. I love how both Nadine and Thatcher can love so effortlessly even though in Thatchers case it some times doesn't seem that way I think it's hidden by his trust issues and the fact that he doesn't love himself which is one of the things that got me teary eyed he's the kind of person who deserves to be loved. I love how Nadine never allows the world to take away her being/essence it motivates me to espire to be like her but be myself at the same time this is just one of the reasons I love this story so much, I hope that you update soon and not go on a long hiatus you're a very talented writer. Looking forward to your next update.

Please update! Don't be one of those authors that finish the first story and never finish the sequels. I really liked the first one but I cried at the end because I thought the story was finished. But then I found out that you have the sequel so I'm slowly recovering.

Hi. I didn't read any part of this story. I had read in your profile earlier today that you do not know how to activate PM. I don't know if you still don't know or not. Anyways, I'm just trying to help. First go to your accounts page, you know, by clicking your pen name that is displayed in orange on the top-right part of every story page, beside 'Logout'? Yeah that one. When you click it, you see many tabs like Account, Publish, Private Messaging, Image Manager, etc. Click Account Settings. Scroll down to the end of the page, where you'll see 'Account Options' heading. Below that, read the third one 'Accept Private Messages (PM)'. Click yes. It's all done! I didn't know it before. I accidentally found that now, so I thought I might tell you as well. Have a nice day/night! :)

Hi. I know its wrong, but I havent finished reading QOAHR yet, but I already jumped into this one. And personally, I think this is good.
I was a bit hesitant to read this srsly, due to the date of the last update but here I am. As a reader, it will break me if a story as good as this doesn't get the ending it deserves, so please update. I know it may take time, but please do, I'll wait.
PS: Can you let Angie and Huey be together please? If not, can they be friends at least? Im shipping them for real. :D

Okay I just finished this a few days after starting QoaOR. Both have been amazing by the way, but...Please update this soon! I need to read more of Nadine Thatcher!
Okay, so I'll just put my review for QoaQR here too, since I'm already here.
So...Yeah I love the characters. Nadine really reminds me of me. Being weird and quirky, and not afraid to show it. :) And I also love Thatcher. His personality is amazing. Confusing at times, but still great.
And for some reason I love this type of relationship. You know, where the good girl likes the bad boy with a troubled past? I really don't know why, but I love reading that kind of relationship...What can I say? I'm weird...Oh,w ell I guess that's what i can say.
When I read the last chapter of it my face was seriously O.O and :O. I was staring at my laptop like that. Especially when I read THE END. I was like "What? No! This can't be the end!", but then I saw there was a sequel, and I immediately went to it...Although I'll admit it was probably about one or two am at the time...
What? I like to stay up late, but ONLY when I'm reading a really good story. So, if I was up THAT LATE reading your story, then it was good.
So...Yeah...Please update this soon!...Not rushing you or anything, but I'd really appreciate it if you did.
So, once again, amazing story! And I don't quite know what else to say right now, so I'll just end the review now...But not before adding another smiley face...(: There is is.

Can I just say how happy I am to see this story revived? I have been reading this since my freshman year of high school...and now I teach high school. I've re-read this and QoaQR several times. I've add the word 'quandaries' into my speech patterns. I have "Days of Fancy" where I wear whatever tickles my fancy just because of how much I adore Nadine's courage to be delightfully herself in a world that is so, so cruel to those of us that fall outside their boxes. There are so many aspects of this tale that I identify with, it's not even funny (like, Fugees "Killing Me Softly" kind of level). Thank you for bringing this story back :)
