I'm kind of torn!. I can see a lot of conflict revolving his death but as far as the whole "you stole my crush thing," I'd probably refuse!. It's too cliche!. You see it on TV, movies, and read it in other books!. I really don't see the point in that!. Meeting your soul mate at thirteen is unlikely!. I mean, it's possible, but how many people end up marrying their boyfriends from middle school!? I'd believe it if she was a bit older, but thirteen is young in my opinion!.
I'm fourteen too and an aspiring writer, so I'd probably be first in line to pick up your book!. I'm a big supporter of teen writers!.
From what you told us, I think you can pull out or edit some things!.
Keep writing!

I wouldn't!. The whole "love, backstab, loss, and re-love" thing is way too overdone!.
And no, the fact that you're a 14 year old doesn't affect anything!.
If you're still curious about what I mean, look up any popular "teen" book or any Disney movie, and you'll see how the underlying mechanics for the plot are all the same as your story!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
I might would read it but now that I know the story and especially the ending I most likely won't!.
It's kinda like those movie trailers which have the whole story in them and at the end I don't watch it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
I'd read it!. I'd BE YOUR BIGGEST FAN!. I love hopelessness in books!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
I would never read it!.
The fact that you're fourteen doesn't bother me!.
But other people might read it!.
