I love this book so much! I always talk about it again and again everytime I can because I felt in love with this book.

Dear Nico, I can't tell you how happy and honoured I am by your very kind words. I am so pleased that you have enjoyed the book and that you liked the storyline.

Out of all the books I've read on here so far, this has got to be the best :) You've done a really amazing job, and thank you for writing such an entertaining story. I was just a little confused why Alex and Tom thought of each other as friends, when obviously they're more than that.
