One of the things that I love about validating is coming across a story that I probably wouldn't have read, but then discovering it's a gem shining out.
This story is beautiful and touching without being melodramatic and over-the-top. It catches a slice of life, and does it well. It's true and unflinching and a bit cinema verite.
Wonderfully written.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, pookha! I'm glad you don't think it's over-the-top and I was definitely trying to catch a slice of life. Nice to know I succeeded at that. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing! :)
