People backpedal all of the time in real life. I encourage you to continue writing and posting. I'm down for Jodie's story and look forward to the next update.

Thanks, ReadWonderfully,

Girl finish your story. It is going somewhere, especially with this last chapter, you made need to speed up her getting help. Just my opinion, I just don't hope that her creepy neighbor rapes her. She needs help now, not later.

Please continue with this story, I so want Jodi to finally get the help that she so desperatly needs, I know that its taken a while to get there, but I have a feeling that her sexing Craig maybe the wake-up call that she needs.

This is YOUR story, write it how you feel, don't worry about what others think.. Haters do what they do and thats HATE.

Please do whatever you want. I do not mind a long fic but I do feel that nothing has happened since chapter 1..... I haven't reviewed because I haven't had much to say because I do not care about the fate of any of the characters because they are all, especially Jodi, so unlikeable however, you are a GREAT WRITER but I do think that your pacing is off. I have actually skipped and/or skimmed through chapters that just feel like smut without a plot. Just a critique not a bashing so please do whatever is best for you and your muse.
If you want to take the story somewhere else I am sure that some will follow you, if you want to stay...... stay and take the negative reviews with a grain of salt but not everyone is going to like the story and not all dislike is a bashing just a critique.

If you leave I would like to read the finished product and if you stay I would just wait until the story is completed to read the ending.

Best.

Thanks for the review Kaye2008.

Let me just say that I don't review often. As a teacher am super busy but I do enjoy unwinding here on the chamber. In life everyone is entitled to their opinion. . If it goes by your reviews then you have way more like than criticize. you are a very talented writer and I do enjoy your story eventhough I will admit that Jodi is kinda whorish but your background kinda laid the ground work for it. Am glad that  you are able to update as often as you do cause not all authors have the time to do so. I think you should continue for the loyal ones like me that look forward to your updates. You take your time and effort to bring across your characters to us and we do appreciate it. I have seen stories with over a hundred chapters here so no worries. Keep writing and whoever wanna stop reading that's there perogative not ours !!!

Helllo Daughter,

Finish this story on this site or go to Literotica. I will follow you their. You cannot please everyone. As for the negative reviews give them the finger and move on. You know the difference between concern readers vs trolls. Some of these readers have to much damn time on their hands. Cross the Rubicon with glory, not defeat.

No, please continue the story.  I was annoyed at first with the beginning because I got tired of reading "leet me know if this is too dark of a story...too kinky..." I was thinking,  let me read the damn story. And honestly,  I thought it would be like other juvenile 'boy meets girl, instantly falls in love with less than mediocre sex scenes in between' stories I've read on here. Not all, but a lot of them. I was very WRONG.  Please continue. 

It doesn't have to be straight and to the point. your story is like watching a move where it starts off good but then drags in the middle longer than it needed to with the characters not developing.You say the story is going somewhere but for the last 30 chapters we've been at a stand still. At least it has been for me but I still read the story I haven't thrown the towel in yet.Steve is the only character I still like.

So now he's captain save-a-hoe you can't help someone who doesn't want it.He needs to focus on working things out with his ex if he was really serious about them getting back together.

I think his last words are an understatement!! I didn't realized how truly messed up she was until this chapter...good lord she is gonna hit rock bottom... I'm scared for her but its gonna be necessary to get her  to accept that she really needs therapy.. Please update soon.  This is my new addiction.

Becareful what you wish for you just might get it and then it is not what is is cracked up to be. Jodi's mindset is warped. Craig never gave her the indication that he wanted anything more than just a friendship with her. She should have stuck with Steve. Sure she has/had crush on Craig, he just was not feeling her that way and she just had to push the issue. Hope she can handle Craig wanting nothing more to do with her after this, there was no love at all and he took her as she wanted to be take...like a common whore. SMH at Jodi. Girl needs some help.

Men....the original Ho's that ain't loyal. Craig finally showed his true colors, and solidified the fact that men are no good piece of shits that you can't trust.

Now I'm never the one to call Jodi a whore, slut, or trick. I'm truly a person who believes in expressing your self sexually, as long a you do it safely. But Jodi IMO deserves those 3 titles and more. I have absolutely NO RESPECT for bitches who step on other women toes. Jodi sat their and got actual facts on how Craig was trying to make it work with the mother of his child and she went into slut mode and threw herself at him. I can't stand tricks like that, there's nothing worse than a women who's selfish enough to say "fuck that girl who probably been in love with this guy for most her life, and fuck that kid who's dying to have their daddy back home, fuck the family they created I'm just gonna throw my pussy in his face because well I want to fuck"......NO U HO.

Jodi is a slut who deserve to be lonely. Girl has been through a hell of a lot but there's a time when you have to grow up and take responsibility for your actions. Craig is NOT SINGLE and Jodi decided to still get involved with him?! She gets what she deserves, because in real life men don't chose the sluts they chose their girl at home. Craig is an ass and Jodi....I guess I no longer care about her journey. 

Your a great writer and I hope to read more of your stuff. The characters in this story though (with the exception of Steve) I can't invest in because truly I don't like them. You have to listen to your audience with of course not compromising your story, and take your characters and make them more likable, or give us those same unlikable characters but make us sympathize with them more. But I get it though...the title explains this story...Jodi is definitely lonely and she's gonna stay that way.

On a serious note, I feel that Jodi has a few more seconds before she detonates. How is she going to guilt trip Craig about his ex and then manipulate him for sex which he baits and switches on her. As another reader said, Craig is the only one who sees that Jodi has a problem and I applaud him for wanting to continue to be her friend despite his observations. 

I can't even picture what's going to happen next.
