[To be honest, when I first heard Nathan and Melody were starring in War Song, I didn't have high expectations for the movie since they were both newcomers. But there haven't been too many good movies coming out in theaters lately, so I just thought I'd watch their movie. It sort of helped that they're both incredibly good-looking. But guess what? They were both amazing!]
On movie rating apps, most comments were about the surprising plot and the impressive acting skills of the two new actors, with Melody being particularly stunning.
[Exactly! When she appeared in the first scene, I understood why Shaun insisted on casting her.]
Many social media users shared the same sentiment. [You're right. People shouldn't judge by appearances, especially when it comes to someone as beautiful as Melody. She's so natural and comfortable to watch. When she's on screen, it's like Athena herself is there…]
Melody received waves of praise for her acting skills, although she felt shy about all the compliments. Meanwhile, Lucas earnestly checked the app every day to see how others creatively praised her.
"Hey, look at this one. They said you're like the goddess Athena incarnate. Even the previous Best Actress winner wasn't as naturally talented as you when she first started."
Melody pouted. "Can't you stop reading all these compliments? There's still a long way to go before I can be compared to the Best Actress!"
"I can't help it. I'm learning how to praise you from them. Besides, how are you not as good as the Best Actress? Your acting skills are much better than hers when she first started, and this isn't just my biased opinion."
Lucas kissed her on the forehead. This was who Melody was—she would always care about others first before caring about herself. She could ignore the haters if she were the only one being criticized, but when it came to her colleagues, she could not.
With the frequent success reports of the movie's box office, it exceeded not only Melody's expectations but also Shaun's. It was not just good; it was too good.
They had submitted their film for consideration for year-end movie awards. Both Nathan and Melody had applied for Best Newcomer awards. Shaun was especially confident that Melody would win.
Melody was hopeful. She loved acting and naturally craved recognition in awards. Winning the award would mean not only the audience's recognition of her acting skills but also about industry professionals' acknowledgment.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
