Truth to be told I wrote this books while I was doing my Form 4 or 11th grade and I've alwats been so scared to let anyone read it except for a friend who only read one chapter of it. So a such a long time after completing it and writung other books after if I thought of typing because it was in an exercise book and U hope you'll like it .
Even though I think It did have some lacking here and there I edited some of the first chapters from the original that I had and I hope it will do. So happy reading. I'll accept corrections anywhere from anyone one and hearung from you wiuld make me the happiest girl alive. I love my babies so much and any haters will be blocked immediately. English-language isn't my first language and I work really hard into getting them like this and anyone to take that for granted will be sent out.
I would also be up for making new friends so you can text me on my socials and also follow me.
