The moment I saw the title, I thought "April Fool's." Nice try, though. :-D

"You had me in the first half, not gonna lie..." Actually you didn't have me, but I love the premise and your whole spooling out of this improbable tale!

I totally thought this was real! It had my attention the whole way through and I did not for once think that you made it up.

You utter monster.

I'm such a sucker, I swallowed the whole thing - oblivious of the date and its obvious appeal to someone of your talents. Absolutely marvelous!

I didn't even notice the date, and you had me going: I was so relieved at the end. I read through the whole Anne series not to mention LMM's Emily of New Moon books and I would've been greatly disheartened had this been true. Whew!
