Life is full of challenges, some easier than others. One day, Life comes up with a challenge for Peyton Brooks, a 'normal' and slightly (okay, maybe very) boring girl. Life bet that he could find 100 reasons to cry before she could find 1000 reasons to smile. At first Peyton thought this was going to be a piece of cake, but then she realized that she didn't like cake: in other words, the bet was starting to seem impossible. But, Peyton was yet to learn that nothing can be taken for granted; there are many things to smile about, you just have to open your eyes big enough to see the small things in life. Amazing cover by @foreverballoon !!!!

Fay Lara just didn’t care. The fact that the totally kissable guy she had just physically abused was actually the Crown Prince of the country? He can be freaking Santa Clause for all she cared. Why you may ask? Because he’s an ass who deserved it, that's why. Gentle Reminder: This book was written when I was young and fanciful, thus, as side effect of being young and fanciful, many grievous errors of grammar, loop holes and spelling mistakes had unintentionally been committed. However, I am in the middle of correcting said errors so tread with care. You have been warned.
