~just my favorite song/remix ever

I'm gonna make this super quick. One: thanks to Allah (swt). I can't believe I have finally, finally finished a book and actually published it, if only on Wattpad. For that I am eternally grateful. Thanks to Muhammad, saaws, for being the greatest Messenger in the world, and thanks to my gorgeous parents and grandparents, who believed I could do it from the start.
Thank you Hanona, for being my partner in crime through everything, and allowing me to explore what it feels like to be an older sibling through Abdullah. You're my hero. Thanks to Dodo, thanks to Fofo, who put a smile on my face forever and always.
Special thanks to Fatema Ahmed because she's Fatema Ahmed :), and all my lovely friends, especially the two who inspired Corey and Mason (you know yourselves).
No, I haven't forgotten my AWESOME beta reader Shahd Shalaby, who had the honour of being the first to finish reading this book and telling me alternative murder plots for this story. While we're at it, thank you Maryoma for all the confidence you had in me, and for giving me my first novel. Thank you TOTA, for being one of the first (if not the first) to read the book on Wattpad.
And LAST BUT NOT LEAST, thanks to all the Abdullah's out there, for holding onto charcoal.




~So that's it, guys. I'm still thinking of adding  a short story collection of deleted scenes+different character POVs, so if you're interested in smth like that go ahead and comment. I won't be publishing anything else at the moment, tho, coz I'm currently working on another book. You can check out my instagram and Facebook pages tho if u like. I'd also love to hear your thoughts on HOC :).
