Review Detail of Chryiss in Can you mend my broken heart?

I RARELY give out a full five stars. But this really deserved it. This has everything that I would ever look for in a romance. The characters are believable and distinct. While they have typical traits of female and male leads and the friendzoned guy bestie; they all still come alive. I cannot stress enough how difficult and uncommon it is to find such realistic romances like these. Yes, Raymond was interested at first sight, but he didn’t go gaga love at first sight completely at her. It was an attraction that turned to realistic frustration when seeing her with another guy, for feeling that their encounter was special to only have it come shattering down. Very very believable. Also, the same with Akira. Although I thought for a moment that her fleeing from Anthony and erasing him from her life without explanation after being so devoted to him seemed somewhat inconsistent in character, actually when you love someone so much and have strong pride (like not wanting to take the backdoor), then this extreme reaction is plausible. Lastly, another plus to this romance is the pacing. I absolutely hate it when they get in bed so quickly or even become girlfriend boyfriend so quickly. It’s just. Not. Realistic. I always ask, where is the period of crushing?! Where the uncertainty pricks painfully as you wonder if they feel the same or if this’ll work out?! I miss that ******* and build-up in a lot of romance stories on here... But your story delivered! Good, correct writing. Enough detail, emotion, and fluidity of settings. I didn’t realize that I read past my typical 20 chapter mark for reviewing longer stories, that’s how good it was. This is probably the only review where I felt like nothing needed to be changed. Really amazing, I’ve actually never been this uncritical as I usually have some suggestions after finding gaps, flaws, or inconsistencies. Then again, I haven’t read that far into the story either. Only to chapter 23, so my opinion could very well change. But as it stands, my expectations were reached for a romance story’s beginning, and you have yourself a firm reader. This is staying in the library!
