All of my school friends have at least somewhat of an idea of my instinctual dislike of counselors, and then there's Ms Napier.

I liked her a great deal more than I was expecting, so I tip my hat off to you for creating a school counselor who I actually liked

Hi, Janica,

Thanks for posting. I guess you've run into a counsellor or two who didn't measure up. Glad Ms. Napier did!

I love the different receptions to her! I absolutely liked her toward the beginning, but towards the middle and end, she got on my nerves.

Hi, Jade,

I noticed that too in the comments from readers. I think it might have something to do with the readers' individual relationships with school counsellors.                                                                      --G--
