Okay, so I'm really enjoying this fic, I like the angst and all the rest. Don't get me wrong, I really like this fic, but I'm just a bit lost in that everyone seems to have "been left" and no one seems to have been the one who left. Until I watched my friends put up with years of shit, I never realised that being the leav-er, rather than the leave-ee, sucks balls too. In fact in some ways having the guts to leave someone who is bad for us, or apathetic towards us, is often harder than being the person who "got left"...

So, I've had Retail Therapy on my TBR for months now, and that's initially what introduced me to you. Recently I started following you on a twitter and with all the awesomeness you fill my TL with, I knew I had to be missing out something extraordinary when it came to your fics. Decided to start with Solstice, and after only this first chapter, I know I was right.
Bella as a character just grabs you from the beginning. It's clear already that something has turned her world upside down, and she's just trying to get through everyday without letting it consume her.
I was pleasantly surprised when it got to the end of the chapter and it was a divorce that brought her there. I think that so often we don't consider how life altering and devastating the loss that comes from ending a marriage can be, especially if it wasn't amicable. I'm excited to see what we learn about Bella's story that brought her here.

i loved this story so much! i loved all of the pain and heartache, but that bella knew that she needed help in the beigining to begin with... i loved the divorce group, and how much it helped bella... especially because as the story progressed you could see just how much it helped, by how she felt so bad for carlisle, and that she just wanted to hug, and did hug rosalie!
and i loved how patient and kind and loving edward was! and i loved how bella realized she loved him and told him, how it was so intimate and all about them!
im sad to see this story ended! it was beautiful!

Just spent a relaxing Sunday reading this entire story. So beautiful. So many times I wanted to hug Bella and tell her how proud of her I was. I like that you didn't do the whole "wedding & baby" ending. I mean, that is a given seeing as Edward and Bella love each other. I think it was more important to show how Bella overcame her heartache to allow herself to heal, and love, be loved. But most importantly, to show that even after divorce you can pick yourself up and move on and find happiness again. :)

When the love making is so powerful that you don't need details...that is a truly special moment. Not a cockblocking fade to black and not full on smut...just..perfect.
