To Via: I understand. You're insecure. However, you're already in your 30s and you can't distinguish between things worth losing sleep over and those that are not. Your constant sharing and display of insecurities has become tiring. Also, you persistently compare Chase and Reid. Granted, you always mention Chase's faults (and you always counter it with “…but Reid is better”), but if I were Reid, I wouldn't be that patient with you. 

To Reid: Yes, you're perfect. Since you're perfect, you need to hear this truth: you deserve someone better. 

To Micalea Smeltzer: Your writing is easy to understand, but it's quite drawn out. Numerous chapters could be removed, reducing the book to half its length if you avoided reiterating points already made. Your readers can grasp how low Via's self-esteem is without its constant mention in nearly every other chapter. An effective author does not need to belabor their point.
