Nicole and I will be reading this.

[Nicole - Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die-]

This sounds really good and thank you

[Katie]

5 chapters

Rachel (view spoiler)[I don't get why she said she was too stressed to be in a relationship if she was just going to go be in another relationship. She should have just told Colby the truth. (hide spoiler)]

Van (view spoiler)[He seems like a good friend. (hide spoiler)]

Colby (view spoiler)[I feel kind of bad for her since she hardly sees her dad and her mom died, and she got hurt by someone she really cared about when Rachel ended things with her. (hide spoiler)]

I'm liking this so far.

[Katie]

10 chapters

Colby (view spoiler)[I hope she gets over Rachel because it doesn't seem like Rachel's going to change her mind and get back together with Colby anytime soon. Maybe she'll find someone new to date, or she'll realize that she's alright on her own. (hide spoiler)]

Mo (view spoiler)[It was so great of Colby to keep him, and sad that he was out there as a stray and in such bad condition. And him having to have a leg amputated was sad too. (hide spoiler)]

Colby's dad (view spoiler)[I'm glad he let Colby keep Mo, since it would have been awful for Mo to have to leave again once he finally has a home. (hide spoiler)]

[Katie]

15 chapters

Robyn (view spoiler)[That's really cool of the vet to go so above and beyond the requirements of her job to really help Colby take care of Mo. (hide spoiler)]

Colby's dad (view spoiler)[I wish he realized how much Colby wants him to stop traveling, but she hasn't told him, so I guess he has no way of knowing. This whole thing with him buying his own truck doesn't seem good for them though. (hide spoiler)]

[Katie]

20 chapters

Amelia (view spoiler)[I feel bad for her because she put herself out there even though Colby had never noticed her, and Colby turned her down. She seems nice too. (hide spoiler)]

Colby (view spoiler)[I feel like she's so afraid of getting hurt again that she isn't willing to put herself back out there, and I feel like she needs to take the risk, because, while maybe things won't work out, maybe they will. It would be one thing if she wasn't interested in Amelia like that, but it seems like she would be interested, but she's just afraid. (hide spoiler)]

[Katie]

25 chapters

Colby (view spoiler)[I think that when Amelia directly asked her how she told her dad, she should have fessed up and admitted that she hadn't come out to him yet. Also, it's hypocritical for her to think Amelia needs to come out when she hasn't. (hide spoiler)]

Amelia (view spoiler)[I like her. She seems really nice, and like she isn't going to hurt Colby like Rachel did. (hide spoiler)]

Robyn (view spoiler)[It really is great of her to do so much for Colby, even if her husband doesn't agree that she should do that stuff. (hide spoiler)]

[Katie]

30 chapters

Amelia (view spoiler)[Wow, Colby really messed things up with her. She should have told her the truth, since after all, it's not like Amelia wouldn't have been okay with it. (hide spoiler)]

Colby's dad (view spoiler)[I think maybe he should try to come back and stay home more, since I feel like some of Colby's issues in school stem from his absence in part. (hide spoiler)]

Van (view spoiler)[He clearly really does care a lot about Colby. (hide spoiler)]

I finished this and it was cute.
