What a surprise! I must admit when I got the mail from FP I didn't know what to make out of the "Lifestyles of the Rich and Infamous". Then I started reading the first sentence of the fourth chapter and aha! It's not that easy to forget about the characters and all their habits. I'm glad that you continue it. Congrats for your diploma! :)

We, he got a name change! Christopher is the awesome times. And Nyx, gosh, she is seriously the most adorable thing of ever. If written badly, I think I'd want to slap her, but she's Nyx. You can't.
And the POV switchover for Amber was good too, yay. You're portraying her relationship with Glen really well too.
I'm delirious you've updated so quickly. ;D

congratulations on graduating college! whoo it must've been awesome times for you.
i like the change in POV - it was a bit messy in some of the first few chapters i think, because there were too many of them, but two in a chapter is pretty okay.
one of my friends said the structure is better this time round - them going off already, rather than 10 or so chapters with lots of AJ, Amber and Glen and I completely agree- because we can have the whole crowd at once, rather than Nyx flitting from her old crowd to her new without any interaction in between.
you know what i love? tristan. _
ahem.

So due to the bag of weed in her bag Nyx is going to be busted fir drugs in the airport and bring attention to the her instead of the band? (Just my theory :])
I have to say, even though I loved the first version of this story, that this seems much more "professional" and more like a novel than a teenage girl's diary. Which is a good thing. And I like the multiple povs, but I prefer like how in this chapter you have mostly Nyx and then a little of another person. If you're interested in focusing mostly on Nyx then that would seem to be the best way to go about things - mostly focusing on Nyx but still like 1/4 of the chapter being another pov. But that's just my opinion :]
I'm selfish and hoping you have lots of free time so you'll update a lot :]

Wow, I remember back when this story hasn't lost to the dregs of the digital FAIL way back when. With the golden boy Tristan and the awesome little dog present and George (GEORGE!). Yeah. It's changed a lot (first and foremost being her *name*...aw...I haven't thought about Tier in a long time) and sometimes I wish I could go back and re-read the epic awesome of that old story, but I have to admit this IS more well written. I mean, the characters start to come out of their cliche and there's this intriguing overlap of jealously and interest that just sort of happens when I read this story. I like how the characters have limitations and they maybe know it and sometimes they don't.
There's also this weird thing where I feel like a guy for wanting to read more Nyx, but...but...I can't help it! She's fun and compelling and I'm not afraid to admit it!
So while I wish you the best in all your job searching, I can't help but keep that little part of me which selfishly hopes you'll still have time to UPDATE!

I read the old version a few years back and I was in love with it. When you vanished, I was crushed and continued to search for the story, hoping you had merely changed the name or summary. I don't know what possessed me to search for it again, after all this time, but I'm glad I did. You created an intoxicating character. One, I have to admit, redefined my definition of beauty. I admire Nyx so much for her big personality and I can safely say I missed her. Thank you for bringing her back to the world. I'm not sure how much I like this new version, since I can't help but compare it to the original and be biased, but I suppose it isn't fair for me to really make my judgment now, before you finish this story here in FictionPress (you do intend to finish this story, right?). Nevertheless, thank you for coming back. Keep writing and I hope to see this updated soon.

Wow, this is old school! I remember this was the very first story I read here on FP, and the reason I started posting my own stuff. I remember Nyx and the gang and all the good times and the bad times. Recently, I read the epilogue of Chasing Mussolini, and wow did that crush my poor little heart (Ian and Tess maybe not forever? No way!) and then I was like, hey, I should read Lifestyles again. So here I am. Or was. I read the first three chapters yesterday. And, like, some of the other reviewers, I am quite curious as to how the AJ-Nyx-Tristan love triangle will play out (if there even is one? I'm kind of hoping there isn't because, well, AJ's a heart throb and Tristan is just this golden haired god who can get any girl.. I like this new and improved, deep and caring, jealous and compromising AJ very, very much!).
Anyways, I know how hard it is to delete big things, but this is good. It's a fresh start and it's playing out nicely. Keep writing :)

I'm just wondering if you plan on having her end up with Tristan again. And also it would be nice if you could post up your old version of this. Anyway, I really hope you "update" soon!

Oh my gosh I'm so happy! hehehe I'll reread this later! I have fulfilled my dream of adding this to my favorites Hallelujah!

Hi! This story is fun. :) It's very energetic, I'm always waiting for a "bang" which will shake up their little world. I like the narrative, too. So yeah, I hope you'll update soon!

So basically I suck at giving reviews... but so far I really liked it... I read this story before you took it off and I enjoyed it immensely, but I can tell by these first few chapters that the story is improving greatly from its previous version... I like how you are building your characters, and it makes them so much more believable... And if I remember the earlier version correctly, this one doesn't seem as rushed... Again this makes it very believable... Ok I am done now...

'Kay, I got two minutes.
I friggin' love Scully. I have made the decision that he is my favorite character in this whole sh-bang. I hope finals don't kick your butt too hard because I am looking forward to the next installment. Until next time.
