Hi Amanda,
There were big problems with the friend part of the site but I've now rewrote it and it should work better now. The process is the same though, what exactly was the problem? Too many steps? Or didn't work properly?

Hi Amanda,
I'm Holly's flatmate and I wrote the site. Glad to see your using it and enjoying it. If you have any suggestions for improvement let me know! I liked your review for Of Mice and Men, if only we could change the endings to what we would like to happen.
