Rhapsody

NEW AUTHOR REVIEW!!!

Rhapsody by annanabanana - Let's see how Annabanana describes Rhapsody: A reclusive, idiosyncratic composer and a beautiful, eclectic dog walker cross paths for six months without ever meeting. What happens when they work up the courage to talk to each other? BxE, AU/AH *Rated M for some mouth trash and lemonade*

I first met (well didn't meet, but noticed) Annanabanana on the Twilighted Thread for Clipped Wings and Inked Armor. Annanabanana is a HOOT let me tell you! The first story I read that was hers was "Sleeper in a Clone Suit" - it was written for the Tattward and Inkella contest. If none of this makes sense to you, you might want to read my review below about Clipped Wings and Inked Armor. To find out more about the contest you can click here: Tattward and Inkella "Sleeper in a Clone Suit" was Awesome and I think she has a good chance at winning the contest with it. If you have some time and want to read a really good one shot, I suggest you read it. It is smutastic! Here is the link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5259641/1/Sleeper_in_a_Clone_Suit

Enough background - On with the Review for Rhapsody... Rhapsody only has 4 chapters posted so far. But these chapters are LONG so you can really sink your teeth into this story. Annanabanana is really gifted in her art of Internal Monologue. When reading the story, there isn't much actually spoken between Bella and Edward in the first couple of chapters. Most of the story up to chapter 3 was internal. It is uncanny how good the author is at making you hear exactly what is in Bella and Edward's head. I don't think I ever realized how much I talk to my self, in my head, until I read this story. She has completely captured what we all do subconsciously. Anyone who thinks they may have a slight case of OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) should totally read this story. You ain't got nothing on Edward.

Because Annanabanana is so gifted in the art of internal monologue, it just stands to reason that she would be equally gifted in describing fantasy and dreams. And SHE IS! The Fantasy that Edward has going on in his head is so Hot - I had to take a break at one point and cool off. She describes, in perfect detail, his fantasy - you can almost see it in your head. I just wish someone would tell the poor man that everyone "self pleasures" and it is perfectly normal and nothing to be ashamed of. And then there is Bella - she has these dreams that wake her up and I am afraid the poor girl's sheets are going to catch a blaze. There have been no Actual Lemons - but there have been Fantasy and Dream Lemons that are worth reading the story for alone. I have faith that there will be actual Lemons though.

*

I am a big fan of this story. I think it is well written and worth your time to read. You really root for these two to get their heads out of their asses and just get together. I think that is what is coming, if Edward will let it. Hell, if I had fantasies as vivid as Edward, I would have a hard time accepting reality too.

Give Annanabanana a read - I think she is on her way to becoming one of your favorite authors. I give her 10 out of 10 stars for Edwards Fantasy alone.
