'Point of View' by GaleandRandy

Hi!:) I came across 'Point of View' by GaleandRandy four months ago or so, read first few chapters and then stopped because I was disturbed by obviously deep feelings Brian had for Griffin. To me it looked like real, overwhelming, the one of a kind and true romantic Love - and even though I completely *loved* the author's style and descriptions and plot, I decided not to continue, because I just couldn't believe Brian's feelings for Justin will be stronger than that. But this story kept haunting me, and I read so many great comments about it... so, I decided to ask for your advice. Should I read it despite the fact I have troubles with B/J loving someone else? Was I right, and Brian did love Griffin romantically with all his heart, all there is to him, or is there some history there that I'm not aware of? Can Brian's feelings for Justin be even more fascinating and beautiful than they are/were for Griffin? And, as far as I understood from comments, Brian and Justin's break up was in a lot of ways Brian's fault, so I wonder, did it take time for them to find a path to each other again after Griffin's death, or Justin forgave and forgot everything quite easily?

Thank you in advance!:)

Read it. Can't say I loved it, can't say I hated it. The story itself isn't bad, more than that - it's *beautiful*, just like all GaleandRandy's stories, but I didn't like the main characters: Brian disgusted me - and it was like he didn't understand what he wanted, not in the beginning, not later; I didn't understand Justin at all and I felt nothing for Griffin. So, it was okay to read, but it didn't impress me that much, unfortunately. Still, I'm glad I read it. It was worth it.

This is one of those stories that surprises you. Several times. It is well worth taking the time to read. You'll think about it long after.

yeah I stopped reading it just for that reason too cause I really can't tolerate Brian being with someone else seriously for even a while. maybe I'll read it later too cause I love all of her fics too . *lol* but the problem with me is that I'm not even patient enough for reading Brian's love for someone else even for a while ;)

You need to finish the story. NEED to.
There is deep love that you feel for someone and then there's the love of a life time. Read the story and you decide.

It's sad,but has a happy ending. Some parts were painful to read, but it's a good story.

You NEED to read it! I've probably read this fanfic more times than any other b/c I love it that much. And she gets into the dynamics of Brian/Justin pretty quickly so you don't have to worry about it being all about Brian/Griffin b/c I don't really like stories either when it's not mostly Brian/Justin.
