HI! NO MORE PATTERNS! I'm here to review your marvellous work because I WANT TO.

So, I really enjoyed this. I won't really comment on this finishing chapter, it's all great.

I'm somewhat angry to myself. I understood quite some of the small things that you hid, but they were there. Yet I couldn't see the bigger picture. I still let myself hate Robert, right? So, I think that is the best thing about your work. I wish everyone would see your novel the way I did. I hope thats how you wanted it to be, becouse if you did, it's freakin' brilliant.

In a way, your work is the best one I've encountered here on YWS. Well, it's also a finished one, so I guess you put up a lot of work and thinking into this one. You are a gifted writer, and also you must be a well informed, intelligent person, considering how many geat things you put into this work.

The way this is now, I think it is great. Don't change anything. I know this isn't enough for a novel, my advice is, go write something as brilliant, make it a two stories. This just deserves to stay it is.

I don't know man, I'm stunned. Beautiful work. I'm really, really, reall glad I have adopted this. It will also help change my perspective about homosexuality too. I wish everyone could read this. I also happen to live in Serbia, the most conservative, traditional shithole there is. Ok there are worse places, but this work would change this shitty mentality of many. If it could only happen, alas.

I'm sad this journey is over. Do you even need more praise, god damn you? xD

Uni here for a review!

I LOVE the figurative language that you put into your writing, it is beautiful! My favorite of all was the rainbow one...

Although I do have on tiny bit of advice, when you go on to another sentence, it is always kind of awkward. It didn't really flow well. Make sure to use more(or better) transition words. It makes it more easy and understandable for the reader.... Just sayin'.

Anyways, keep up the good work! :D

Thewriter13 here on this lovely Review Day to give you a review :D
Um, so I know I haven't read the chapters and this is the LAST chapter but this needs reviews ;)
So your word choice is here is MAGNIFICENT.
"I used to assume that life was some sort of rainbow; almost like a form of bipolar analysis. I still hold this view, though maybe neither as strong nor as potent as my mind, trapped in the realms of yesteryear. " These first few sentences are so vivid and beautifully written. I commend you for your word choice here.
"Before all of these events, I was of the conviction that the end of this rainbow- the transitions of life, the end of some sort of era- was grey, dull, and utterly unadventurous."

This is a tiny bit run-on as there are commas and dashes and what not. Perhaps rewording it or just taking out the words between the dashes and incorporating them some other way might make it less confusing/run-on. This is only a suggestion and you don't have to do this unless you want to. After all, that suggestion might not have made sense ;)

"So, this is the mentality I possess as I get my bag ready for my enrolment at Golding College, six months prior to my infamously melodramatic “attempt” at ending my life."
Enrollment is spelled wrong in this sentence.

"My original plan was to fuck off elsewhere on my own, but now Stephen is in my life, we have decided to enrol there together." Enrollment is spelled wrong yet again and you could at "that" after Stephen to make it sound better and more grammatically correct. Plus if you do that you could take out the comma after life, take out "but" and put a semi colon after "my own"..just work on spelling errors and punctuation.

"In order to get to the college, I need to take a long arse bus ride which takes an hour. Luckily, I am not alone in enrolling, as Stephen- with a denim jacket and black jeans- is sitting by the stop, waving at me. I sit down next to him, giving him a light kiss on the forehead." You're switching tenses here very quickly, be careful about that. You really need to keep it all one tense in order to maintain consistency and a better flow. This in turn won't confuse readers. (I understand the reviewer below me mentioned this as well. Just stressing what needs to be changed.) See you start of past tense and then immediately go into present...please be clearer when you transition :D

Anyway great work and I know this weird since it's the last chapter but now I want to read all the others right now! :D
Keep writing!

Hello fellow! Mersize here for a review. :)
I did not get the story quite well since I have not read the other chapter, only this one. I promise I will read them, though. Today is review day; that is why, I am just reviewing this one.

Let's see some nitpicks;

"I used to assume that life was some sort of rainbow; almost like a form of bipolar analysis."

In the first sentence "I used to assume that life was some sort of rainbow;" There is an indifinite article "a" "Life was some sort of a rainbow;"

There is one mispelled word "enrolment" when it has to be "Enrollment" Two times you did that. Check that out, okay?

My original plan WAS to fuck off elsewhere on my own, but now Stephen is in my life, we have decided to enrol there together.
In order to get to the(THIS DEFINITE ARTICLE IS NOT NEEDED) college, I NEED to take a long arse bus ride which takes an hour. Luckily, I am not alone in enrolling, as Stephen- with a denim jacket and black jeans- is sitting by the stop, waving at me. I sit down next to him, giving him a light kiss on the forehead.

In my opinion when switching tense as fast as you did in these two paragraphs look kind of confusing and makes the reader to go back. Be careful when switching TENSES.

As I told you before, I have not read the other chapter because today's review day. This is good stuff, though. Keep on writing. :)
