Although a lot of inspiration was taken from my life (surprising?), this story and all characters depicted are fictional. I do suffer from generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder. Those themes were inspired by my experiences. ❌⭕️❌⭕️ This book started as practice and a creative outlet, which is why the plot is... interesting. My goals for this challenge are listed below, let me know if I nailed them! Goals: ✔️ 50,000 words (2,000 - 2,500 per chapter) ✔️ Dabble in psychological themes ✔️ Bring a dark twist to the Mafia Romance genre ✔️ Limit the use of profanities (which this genre is known for :P) ✔️ Finish my first novel
