I really liked it. Can't wait for the sequel." -ccsmudge "The most favorite thing about this story is its unique plot. Even though it has topics like rejection which is very common but this story brings it with a twist. I love the way, the author just smoothly explains even small details with ease. The protagonist being blind has a strong personality with her weakness also. This makes the character feel more realistic than fictional and this is what I love the next about this story." -Caging_Dreams --- BEAUTIFUL cover by the lovely artist and awesome author @supernovass TRIGGER WARNING: Deals with mild emotional abuse.Complete
