The Article ~ A.R
"This article would be huge, but I couldn't do that to her.. Could I?" Evelyn Sayers was just a plain journalist. Well, plain in her mind. She couldn't care less about the things she wrote about however she needed the money and she was a brilliant writer. She was interviewing players before the 2023/24 WSL season begins, and she meets a new transfer to Arsenal. What will happen when she gets to know the transfer a little better... She wasn't ready for a relationship, she thought they both knew that going in. But life suprises you, in many different ways. I'm not great at descriptions sorry! Read the book though. The songs that I most associate with this book are 'With or without you' By U2 and 'Can't help falling in love' By Elvis! My first language is German so apologies if there are any spelling or grammar errors, I do proof read but it's not foolproof.Complete
