I read your note at the end and I'm really glad you held onto this story and kept it so alive :)) I really enjoyed it. Your characters are so immediately likeable but what I'm really coming to enjoy, and savor, in your writing is the imagery. Especially in the forest, I could picture everything so hauntingly beautiful and I usually have a real hard time envisioning things. Probably related, but I adore all the effort you put into the art too and I've got to shout it out. Your chapter pictures and scene breaks are gorgeous and I loved the little character busts. So so cute, like the sweet romance and friendships.
Thanks for sharing with the world!
