Your story gets more interesting and exciting with each chapter. You do an excellent job with the dialogue and details that I feel like I'm there in the story.

    Thanks so much. Hopefully you get caught up because the big finale is tomorrow and the ending on Sunday. The story will be done. It's been great therapy and I am blessed that people enjoyed the efforts.
    Hope you are feeling better.

Another super chapter. You never let your readers relax this entire novel. Each chapter had us on the edge of our seats. Jackson may want to question the girls about Dion and drug use, or ask something about Gabby and her pregnancy. But Natasha is thinking the worse, and has a lie prepared. See you in the next chapter.

    Yes, Natasha always believes she's a step or two ahead of everyone. Her lies are her truth in her mind and everyone else is wrong.

Putting on a fake crying face has become a specialty art these days that young people have down to a science. Life has become a con game, but as they get older they'll learn the consequences are greater than they ever could have imaged. Well, as long as we stand tough and make them pay. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

    I wonder if Natasha will ever learn there are consequences. Ava makes excuses and covers for her so much...it's become a game.... and not a fun one.

    Smiles and hugs, Carol

    Sadly, in today's world, nobody seems to understand their are consequences for our actions. And whatever they do is someone else's fault. They can't take responsibility for anything. I call it the poor pitiful me syndrome. Hugs and smile back at ya! Ric

Natasha might have success as an actress, but not as a decent person. I'm not sure why the Sheriff is at the school, but maybe I overlooked something. Looking forward to the next chapter. I'd like to hear from you how well this works to put out four chapters at the same time.

    Good morning. Carol
    Jackson was at the school to ask the girls about JUan. Gabby told him that Juan lived by Becky and that she knew him. Judy also told Jackson that Bobby had bought drugs from him. So he was digging deeper. But the girls thought he was investigating the party and Big Frank's dealing with Juan. Terrified, they bolted so to speak.

    Hugs, Carol

I gotta say that Natasha is one of the worst characters I've read. At least, Becky has more of a conscious. Natasha has no sense of guilt for using people and lying. I hope Jackson will be able to read through all the "game face." Another great chapter!

    You are so right in judging Natasha's character. She believes her own lies because she tells them so much. REgardless if someone shows her they are lies...they are real to her. So sad and painful!

    Hugs, Carol

These girls are becoming professional liars. It will come back to bite them in the butt. I'm really liking this story.

They're talking to Principal Wyatt. What if â?"" (Evil Eddie)

Everyone in our neighborhood knows I am friends with him." (knows I'm friends, more natural in dialogue)

    Thanks for the pointers...fixed.

    Yes, the girls are very good at manipulating and telling their story through rose colored glasses.

    Hugs, Carol

This is another excellent chapter. You are moving the story along nicely. Teenage girls will be teenage girls. I do not see any room for improvement. Have a blessed day.

I got to read two chapters this time, but you still left me dying to know what why the cops want to talk to these girls. I can't imagine why Ava is so blind she can't see what is going on with her daughter and why she buys everything she says an thinks Isabella is making a big deal out of nothing. I remember the things you told us before about the granddaughter you were worried about the fact she was always saying things about her father, enough to know who Natasha, Isabella and Ava are modeled after.

    Gabby has put Juan on Jackson's radar and he's simply following the leads. He has no idea (yet) about all the shenanigans the girls have been connected to. You are correct in who these final chapters are modeled around. I spent a sleepless night writing Chap 28 and hope 29 will be the final one....It's a labor of nerves, effort and love.

    Always, Carol

This work has reached the exceptional level

That is for the two chapters as both were amazing. I can just imagine what Nat is going to say with the help of the scratches. But the continued lies have to catch up with her some time. It's awful. It's a wonder they've got to this point without being caught out. Another excellent chapter, my clever friend. Love and hugs! :)) Sandra xx

    Lies and self pity seem to be her EMO, And so far it's worked for her. Someday it won't and the consequences will be devastating. Thank you for gracing me with your thoughts and kind review. You are so kind with the stars. Spent a sleepless night pushing out Chap 28... nearing the end. Thank you so much. Smiles, hugs, and love, Carol
