Oh, my gosh. This is amazingly and beautifully, well-written. It's just perfect and phenomenal. When I first started reading this, I was ... I don't know how to explain it, but I do know that this is amazing and wonderful. It's just perfect to me. I have read only book of the Ugly series, but I'm hoping to read the rest soon. I'm so happy for you! Congrats on getting a editor's choice; you truly deserve it! :) You really have such a talent and greatness and light in you; and you are a amazing and wonderful, talented writer. :) Thank you, so much, for sharing this!
