review 1: I was really left with mixed feelings on this one. The setup was something that really pulled me in - teenage runaway is about to give up on the streets when a kindred spirit finds him and is willing to take him under his wing. There is definitely a lot of potential in there. But the character of Erik really irked me - the way he treated Jonathan was bothersome and the inconsistencies in his behavior left me wondering if he really was up-and-down like that or if his character just wasn't well-defined.In the end, it's a cute story - hence the 3 star rating - but I really would have liked more character development and bit more down-to-earth and less scattered approach.
review 2: I did enjoy this story, though there were things that didn't quite add up or were... moren't addressed fully, such as the drug use. While much of the prompt was worked into the story, I had a hard time connecting the picture of two high school looking boys with the dirty street dwelling kids in the story. The story itself was sad and sweet, but also a bit creepy. Motives weren't always clear, but everything gets wrapped up quickly in the end. The writing was smooth, but I felt this story would have benefited from a bit more detail. less
