Hi! Loving the story!
Have one question:
You said above that Edward had considered Alice having Tourette's. I don't understand why he would think that
I have Tourette's, as does my son, and her behavior does not resemble anything like Tourette's. Tourette's is a neurogical condition that is defined as someone who has both motor and vocal tics. Motor meaning muscle tics like nose twitching, eye blinking, shrugging your shoulders. Vocal meaning tics that make sounds like throat clearing, sniffling, chirping/grunting. Coprolalia, which is when ones involuntarily shouts cuss words, is very rare. This only occurs in about 2% of people who have Tourette's. It's a common misperception because the media frequently portrays is as such becuse it is humorous.
Please let me know your thoughts!

First I have to say your story is brilliant. I've been rivoted since I stumbled across it. You did an amazing job with the illnesses, bipolar disorder in particular. Mental illness is such a tricky thing so I applaud you for getting it down so well. Sadly I had to take my sister to the hospital for that reason & you captured the feel really well. Thanks for sharing your story & for makking it so real.

I'm about to read this story again.
I dont remember if I reviewed the first time I read which was only a few months ago, but i just wanted to tell why I liked it so much to do it again.
The E and B in this story are not perfect and they have flaws and imperfections that are deep seated and need a lot to heal, BUT they find each other and fall in love, not because of or spite of their flaws, they fall in love just because they do, because they are soul mates you could say.
I love that they both work at their issues when THEY are
ready and have unwavering support for each other.
Most importantly though, I love that once they get together, the stay together and work through what life throws at them TOGETHER. In so many fics, there are gaps and E or B leaving because it's better off for the other, and I guess that is inspired from Edwards dumb decision in New Moon, but honestly, it's the most annoying thing to read. So when I got through this the first time, I was very pleased to see that didn't happen.
And most importantly, thank you for doing an overweight Edward. I have to admit at first I couldn't picture it and so I put off reading it, but then idk I was getting tired of reading "he was like a Greek god, with his chiseled jaw and tall lean body, not to muscular, but just right" so when I came across it again, I looked at your banner and then created an Edward fo pr this fic in my head and dove in.
Im so happy I did because I love it and if you ever want to right another fic I'll be sure to read. I read Loner as well and loved it. You tell a great story.
Thank you.

I appreciate that you didn't make these guys some sort of beautiful, cookie cutter couple as per most fics. Their realistic imperfections were beautiful in and of themselves. Thanks for sharing

Renee deserves a slap! I'm glad Jacob was so polite about an obviously awkward situation
