cover might change, depends what the author decides, really
here i might have to start summarizing stories as they have so little to the synopsis.
so, this story is a michael clifford fan fiction. michael is in the band 5 seconds of summer in 'catfish'.
our main character is mae (meredith) who is a very insecure girl. she lives in the states, near charlotte, and as everyone knows, michael lives in sydney, australia. the two meet on twitter, as mae tweet michael and he happens to reply. they start talking more often as michael follows and DMs mae. he doesn't know what she looks like as on snapchat, she only replies to him with pictures of anything but herself.
when michael asks her to send him a picture of herself, she chickens out and sends him a bunch of pictures for three months that are of a girl on tumblr, not herself. who finds out about mae catfishing michael, is ashton. as he catches on, michael finds out and things do not look pretty.
so this was a lovely little story. i really liked the premise of it, even though i know i've read like three hundred other stories like this one. but it was different since the girl directly catfished him, and he wasn't having it.
i really liked some of the characters in this and i probably would've liked it more if it didn't revolve around the relationship as much, even though the chapters were quite short. it could definitely use some depth to it but nevertheless, i enjoyed reading it, hence why i gave it a four-star rating.
i would've liked the characters to have a bit more of their back story, especially since mae did have a bit of a darker past in relationships. i would've liked to see if michael in this had been in a relationship before and what was his story.
the fact that arzaylea (luke's girlfriend, i wanna say? idk) was put into this didn't honestly bother me at all, even though i know how much she's hated in the 5sos fandom, for unknown reasons to me because i don't really care about who dates who. but the fact that did bother me was that the author had to point out and warn people about putting her into the story and that she was scared to do it. she shouldn't have been scared because people shouldn't be rude towards others. the boys should be able to date whoever they want, man. chill the fuck out on the arzaylea topic, it's old.
i get it, people are jealous that their 'precious' luke might as well be taken and, of course, fans want him all to themselves. i don't really know about that, especially since i've never been a 'luke girl' which some people say that everyone has been at least once. well, not me. i've been a 'michael girl', an 'ashton girl' and a 'calum girl' but never luke... i guess it's just because of how many of the 5sos fam are luke girls lol.
so here's a bit of my thoughts on this story. basically, to sum it up, i didn't like the too much of a cliché ending and that the characters didn't have a lot of depth to them. yep. no offense to the author but sometimes you gotta face the music, okay.
the explicit extra content was well done in my opinion, though. wasn't too explicit explicit and it had some beauty to it. nicely done for someone who wrote smut for the first time ever.
until next time
