I loved this story. Everything was so well thought out. Your characters were really realistic, they were simple yet complicated in the most common of ways. You carried the narrative in a beautiful way - few authors can pull off such well-written chapters without 90% of each being just conversation. You merged everything well, the story progressed naturally, nothing was forced and it seemed extremely real. I would love for a sequel to be written, I would read it in a heartbeat, though it being six years later I realise that is probably not going to happen. It saddens me, but I'll deal... ;)
Thank you for this wonderful story! I wish you the best :)

Great story. I loved how realistic most of the dialogue was and how the whole 'arranged relationship' cliche played out - it wasn't continually forced nor was it the basis of the story. I liked that you brought the passion and the hate/love aspect of their banter to life with the parts about politics with a real discussion.

I loved the characters and the way they were fleshed out in a relatable way through their previous relationships - with Kim and with Jorma.

I think I do have to agree with the way some things weren't as feasible as I'd have liked them to be - namely, Ant inability to be impartial on the job, the conversation about employees and money laundering at Mindy's house, etc. But I have to say the other conversations were very refreshing in their honesty, even through all the awkward (and not in an artificial, teenage way either) moments and hard-hitting accusations. I liked this line quite a bit: ""I'm just saying that because you think a certain way sometimes you're impervious to other perspectives." and the line that followed. That Ant herself knew the reason why she didn't have any success with her writing at her job made her whole bleeding-heart liberal act the more believable. But then again, I can just see myself as Ant, and I've totally seen types like Dorian - the ones who are caught up on extremes and unable to come to terms with their own self-deceit.

The reason Ant gave for why she was reluctant to jump into the relationship was refreshing in its truthfulness and its commonness. You really did set up the perfect way to bring them together. What an ingenious yet simple way to form their relationship.
