Things to Consider when Reading: This book as of February 2023 has gone under major editing since it was first written beginning 2017. I will not be editing it further, but in no means do I think it's perfect or no longer cringey, I just need to leave it be before I end up changing the whole plot. This book was written when I was in year 10/Freshman in High school. It's cringey, I wanted to be edgy. I'm so genuinely embarrassed by it that I can't bring myself to read the comments past the first few chapters. Don't judge, be kind to my young, edgy, emo self.
