This story is a very good example of the phrase “absence makes the heart grow fonder.” This is a very sweet piece about the love one girl has for her hometown. It is very poetically written and easy to listen to. The story is also told in a very captivating way. While the main story is something that I’ve heard before, the author did a good job of telling it in a really interesting way. The writing was superb, and the music fit well. I appreciate that the author knew the mood of the story. It seems like a lot of the time, people aim for a specific tone in their stories and end up picking the wrong music, but this piece matches up.

The only complaint I have with this piece is that some of the writing was a little bit cliché. I guess that sounds pretty mean, and I don’t intend it to, I just felt like I had heard some of the phrases and such before. However, there was a lot in the writing that was very far from cliché, and overall the writing was super impressive. I say this only on a supremely nit-picky level. I thoroughly enjoyed this story!
