The Opposite of Falling Apart [Formerly Three and a Half Good Legs]

dedication/forward

To any teenager who has had to or will have to deal with going off to college and becoming an adult, no matter what challenges it brought or what you had to overcome. No matter if you were excited, or if you were scared. To anyone who learned what it was to take that step away from everything you knew before.

Also to Kadin: Rhys rhymes with geese.

"Three and a Half Good Legs"

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Hello there! Whether this is your first experience with TAAHGL or you're a returning reader from the first version, I do hope you enjoy yourself in the following pages.

If you are a returning reader, and wondering about some of the changes, head to the extended Easter Eggs in the back to see why they were made! If you're a new reader, I suggest saving those for last, to avoid spoilers.

Some things to note about the rewrite:

1. Some comments may be off, because chapters changed positions during the edit (although the total number of chapters is the same).

2. For that reason, you might see comments that don't make sense with the chapter they're in. Don't be alarmed.

3. The rewrite hits a final word count of 105,224 words (not counting any bonus parts and extra features). This count is over 20,000 words higher than the first draft (even when the bonus parts were included in the first draft's word count).

4. Some chapters are longer than others and some are very short. This is a stylistic choice based on how I would want the story to be printed. You're still getting 100,000 words worth. :)

I hope you enjoy the rewrite! As always, I'd love to know what you think.
