If you ate chocolate cake on a sofa it would stain forever. I don't believe a man would run up to another man in public and say, "I forgot to kiss you!" Mustang cars were not manufactured and introduced until 1964. I know, I know, I'm a petty nit-picker. However, there was something in every chapter that was not correct and it was too distracting to me; I couldn't over look it. I'm glad other people are enjoying her story though.

I understand. It doesn't distract me because I have no clue about the 50s and she could get away with anything as far as I am concerned (well except saying that they went to see Jurassic park together in the cinema), probably because I am Dutch and did not grow up in America or the 50s! ;)

And this is why I love the plethora of fics we have available...there is always something for everyone's taste. If you don't like something, it is easy enough to drop it and move on to something else.

Unfashionable as considering historical accuracy important apparently is, reading that would drive me absolutely insane. A little like having two ancient Roman centurions calling each other "dude."
