: *squeels*
: Guess what I've been doing for the past few
: hours, instead of my homework?
:
: Yeah, I found "Do-Over".
:
: I. could. NOT. put. it. down.
:
: Daling darling Niki, you. are. a. goddess.
:
: Honestly, I had given up on teen romance
: novels (I have seen too many trashy
: unoriginal plot lines), and on a whim a few
: months ago I picked up "Royally
: Jacked". And became immedediatly
: hooked. I mean it. I went to three book
: stores SEARCHING for "Spin
: Control". And today on a whim, I found
: "Do-Over".
:
: My bad day gone good.
:
: But honestly Niki, your stories, while
: slightly fictional, have such a
: down-to-earth tone that any girl could think
: that it could ACTUALLY happen to her. And
: that's why I love this series. Val is the
: 'girl-next-door' type that we all know, who
: goes through a diaster in her life (divorce
: in her case), and makes a tough choice. And
: she tries to start her life over again (in a
: new COUNTRY!) and comething good comes out
: of it (uh, Georg is a great thing). But
: then Val is just still that down-to-earth
: girl, and not one stuck up brat. She thinks
: Orlando Bloom's hot, she loves fast food,
: and she just loves her man.
:
: And thank you for showing us that Niki.
: We're seeing some story that promotes a
: normal girl. Not some insane druggy, or
: pregnant teen, just a normal girl falling in
: love and dealing with life.
:
: You're voice in this story is amazing too.
: It makes Val come alive that some stories
: just don't make happen. You don't sit there
: and describe the castle for three pages; you
: sit there and describe Val's personality
: through 230-ish pages. And thank God for
: that. I can only take so much, "The
: wind whistled through the trees like a wolf
: howling at the moon at midnight". Ugh.
:
: One question though, can Georg make a
: mistake once. You know, slip up? I mean in
: "Do-Over", we actually saw the two
: get in a fight, which kinda signifies a bit
: more of a natural relationship. (People can
: argue the 'cool down' bit, but that was Val
: misunderstanding Georg).
:
: If you write another book, I'd love to see
: them 'fight'. And in that bit, I could see
: Val falling apart, and seriously considering
: moving back. A bit more drama, a bit more
: gut-renching heartache, and a good
: heartwarming scene at the end.
:
: Or not. It's your story/series. I'd
: just love to see another book. Pretty
: please?
:
: Awesome job writing the series, I love it
: and it's getting up there next to Grey's
: Anatomy on my 'guilty pleasure' list.
: That's how good your books are.
:
: Please keep up the awesome job. And I'm
: more than willing to act in any movie made
: off the series (wink wink nudge nudge -
: JOKING!-)

OMG i know i totally loved royally jacked and i just got spin control a half an hour ago and already i am in like 110 pages i swear i got in trouble like ten times in one class because i would not put it down. it took me like 2 hours to read royally jacked and i was devastated when i forgot my school I.D at home and then today i had to wait until my second last class to get it i was so upset the whole day i couldn't belive it. I agree i think that in the fourth book that your idea "If you write another book, I'd love to see
them 'fight'. And in that bit, I could see
Val falling apart, and seriously considering
moving back. A bit more drama, a bit more gut-renching heartache, and a good heartwarming scene at the end." totally awesome brainstorming. and i too have put Niki B books 2nd on my list of guilty pleasures underneath greys anatomy way to be
