review 1: This story didn't work for me at all. I found the writing to be flat, and the characters to be inconsistent, and grating. I really hated Knox, and his arrogant, controlling, and presumptions nature. The plot felt clichéd, and I spent the entire story hoping against hope that Silver would keep telling Knox to get lost, or have him charged with sexual harassment. Nothing about Knox’s behavior struck me as romantic, and the disrespectful and nasty way he spoke about the men he slept with before only made me dislike him more.
review 2: Fuck, I wish I could just unread this story, because it's not bad but it's not good either and what I'm about to say is not nice and it's making me feel mean and miserable. And this is not like me. At all.This might have something... more to do with the fact that I can hear the TV in the background, where my Dad is watching a movie where an autistic kid keeps moaning "Mama, papa" in Spanish and I don't even know what it's about but it's making me uncomfortable.So: this story felt like a series of short, barely sketched scenes - with no play on facial expressions or emotions other than basic stuff like "he was happy" or "he gaped at her" - tacked on together, and the result is basically a collage of all of the most overused tropes in M/M romance.And the reason why I feel bad is that I know that this is exactly what would come out if I tried writing, and it doesn't seem fair to criticise someone for doing something exactly the way I would've done it, right? But then, I don't go publishing what I write - mainly because I don't write - and writers should expect criticism.It wasn't bad, it was actually nice, but it irritated me in a way only few stories manage to do and it left me feeling in no way satisfied.There. I said it.EDIT: oh, one last thing - since I'm being a bitch already, might as well get it all out there. I am so, so tired of the imposing, bitchy and nosy so-called "best friend", who is supposed to be funny and strong but always ends up getting on my nerves. I'll take a dozen homophobic moms or female antagonists over that any time. Why can't there be a normal girl in M/M romance for once? less
