I almost died of shame by simply reading the cheesy declaration in front of everyone, really. I just wanted to die or something. But, God, I love this story.
You know, it's not exactly the story itself, but the way you creat and develop your characters. I've read other stories you wrote, and this is really something you never fail at. You make everyone look real, and it makes everything plausable. I feel like reading something actually possible, with people I can identify myself with, and not just some silly excuse for unreal perfection.
You kick ass.

Oh wow. This story rocked. It was seriously so awsome. It had everything I wanted in it. Tell you a secret *whisper* I have a huge crush on my science teacher who, by the way, is smokin hot. I kinda felt like I realated. Except the fact that nothing could ever happen between me and him. Sigh. All well, this story was definaltly one of my favorites.

So, I'm not British or anything, but I read enough British lit and I've been to England/Oxford often enough that I've got most of the slang down, but I'm still rather confused about the Jumper. A jumper is what, a type of pullover shirt or something? The only time I remember a jumper is when I was little and it was a one piece pullover dress.. I'm fairly sure Nick isn't wearing a dress much of the time. :/
I absolutely love love your writing, thanks to this story I didn't do any homework. And I don't mind at all.

Oh my god. Okay, so I just have to get this off my chest right now.
OH MY GOD. I LOVE PIZZA EXPRESS! *clutches chest* DOUGH BALS~!
And that's literally what I just spewed. Just now. Seriously sitting here at my computer I clutched my chest and said quite dramatically what you read above.
You are my hero.

So I'm usually a right tosser and don't review because, well, I'm lazy. As a writer I should know better. But, I loved this enough that I needed to review and also inform you that I was adding it to my favourites. Brill!
Best lines probably had to do with "asthmatic goldfish" and all that. The whole end/epilogue was pure loveliness. Ahem. Off to sniffle over the pure cuteness of vaguely pederastic relationships...

Hello! I really enjoyed reading this story. Great fun and it made me laugh so many times. Nice and lighthearted, though I'll admit I teared up a bit at the end. I'm also really glad you included this glossary. I was getting seriously lost sometimes. And even the few words that I thought I knew were actually wrong as well. So now I've been UK educated. Thanks. It really helped. There were others that you didn't include, but a lot of times I could infer what was meant by studying the context.
Anyway, this was really well written and I had a wonderful time reading it. Nick was great. Hilarious and nicely emotional too, but not annoyingly so. And I thought all the characters were nicely used, too. Dougie and the others provided nice comic relief and I love the way you use nicknames when you write. Like Treacle, for instance. Such an adorable way to show how Nick really does care for his sister.
I also loved how you kept the plot flowing forward at a good pace. It never dragged or went by too fast. The only thing I can find fault with it is that I wished it were longer. I loved reading it so much that I never wanted it to end. Excellent writing! I'm going to check out what else you've written now. I love your style.
Take care! Mike and Nick forever! ^_^

Amazing story. I loved it. Great writing style - I really felt like I was inside a seventeen-year old Brit boy's head. I also loved the characters. Great work! :)

There's a phrase that makes you feel like a complete prick. At the same time having your grandmother die doesnt make it okay to "prey" (used loosely) on your students. I get the drunk thing, totally, I got pissed as hell when my friend died, but the whole groping on the bus thing? No no no. Still...poor Mike. Poor Nick too, it sucks feeling like a prick. -FG

Ended up going to bed at over 4 am and starting reading your story as soon as I got back home from work instead of fixing myself my only meal of the day. Am I addicted or what?
My point is : I love your story. Every bit of it. And yeah, I love the cheesy epilogue, I've learned this past few years that there is actually such a thing as good cheesy stuff and this is another proof of it.
Still, the ending is clearly an ending, you've got a good conclusion and a good epilogue and stuff, but I want more. I just so want to read more about them ! For instance, I'm curious about how it's going to turn out between Doug and Charlie. And how Mike and Nick will make it work, how long they're going to stay together and so on...
Well, that's just me being greedy. Thank you again for this story that I throughloutly enjoyed.

Would you marry me ?
Sorry, that's one of the most creepy way to start a review, but I fucking love your story so much ! I just can't keep from laughing all the time. And I love the fact that it's british english... I'm actually french, currently living in Scotland for a few months still and I've been far too much intoxicated by american english while learning the language.
Enough said about my life, I just wanted to say that I love being able to read perfectly british slang and expressions, and the story itself is just so... vivid, sounds so real and it's so funny ! I love Nick, Dougie, Michael Roberts the sexy PE teacher (I really wished I had a sexy teacher in high school too) and Lucy (even though we don't know much about her yet, she seems really great).
I love reading it because it doesn't seem to take any effort at all, as if every of your words simultaneously turned into images and feelings so full of life I'm laughing out loud, without a doubt disturbing my neighbours (no, I don't have such a strong voice, the walls are just really thin). I'm a big reader, there's barely a day passed without me reading but it's usually at least a little hard to really get into the story. Here I'm pulled into it as soon as I start the first sentence.
I don't know if any of that made sense to you, I think I may sound a bit overly enthusiastic and potentially quite weird... Well, I don't care, I love your story and I really, really want to thank you for it.
Now if you'll excuse me, this review as taken me away from your story for far too long already (and I don't think I'm going to sleep tonight until I've read it all...)
Thanks again, oh talented one.

I love this story. It's so much fun to be in Nick's head even when I want to shout, "No, Nick do [this] instead."
I like that you introduced Mike before you introduced him. When the demon gym teacher was mentioned he didn't seem important. Objects of Affection are important and therefore need to be introduced early, but then Mike shows up as a lodger, I said "Ah ha" and was well pleased.
Chapter 23 was very funny and the love scene (I can't remember the chapter) was very sexy (switchers, my favorite). I also liked bits with his mother in/outside the bathroom.
I'm glad Dougie and Charlie are happy. And I know they are because Charlie would say they were and Dougie would, of course, agree. But I don't think Dougie would be an entire push over.
Great job.
