✨ Rewrite Update ✨ 
          	
          	Hey loveys ♥️ 
          	
          	Quick update on This Time Around—I reached out to Wattpad Support and ran a few tests with them, and they’ve officially confirmed that story update notifications aren’t being sent out properly right now. It’s a known issue and has already been escalated to their developers.
          	
          	So if you haven’t been getting notified… it’s not you, it’s not me—it’s the app being a little broken right now. ☹️
          	
          	I even reached out to @princess_jonesia who voted on my last update, and she told me she’s been checking the story daily because she wasn’t getting any notifications.
          	
          	@princess_jonesia, thank you so much for replying to me so quickly and helping me figure this out—it really helped me back up my report.☺️
          	
          	Because of this, I’m still holding off on publishing the rewritten chapters. I really don’t want anyone to miss them after all the work that went into this version.
          	
          	I know it’s a bit frustrating (trust me, I miss updating and screaming with you all), but I promise I’m not going anywhere. I’m just waiting for things to get fixed so you actually get the notifications you deserve.
          	
          	In the meantime, feel free to drop by anytime. I’m always up for a chat ♥️

Sweet As You is the coziest, most heartwarming romance I’ve read in ages. Kathie and Cade’s opposites-attract dynamic is chef’s kiss—her sunshine softness breaking through his grumpy walls feels like a warm hug. Aileedales writes such tender, real love stories that stay with you long after the last page.

@Chloe11077 AHHH this made my day. Thank you so much!!
            
            Kathie and Cade’s dynamic means a lot to me, so hearing it described as a “warm hug” is honestly everything ♥️ 
            
            Also I’m really glad you enjoyed it that much. It means so much to hear the story stayed with you even after finishing!

Hi @Aileedales.. how are you doing.. its been a while.. Hope you're  doing well..

Aileedales

@thebrknbuttrfly123 Aww that honestly makes me so happy to hear ♥️ Knowing my books bring you comfort means so much to me, truly.
            
            And oh my God, I do the same! I’ve been rewatching Supernatural lately. There’s just something about going back to familiar things when everything feels a bit overwhelming.

Yes, indeed, @Aileedales. Re-reading your books brings a sense of comfort. I tend to revisit comforting things when things are goin back. I have watched FRIENDS numerous times. How are you managing?

✨ Rewrite Update ✨ 
          
          Hey Loveys! ♥️ 
          
          Quick update: I’m holding off on publishing new chapters of ‘This Time Around’ for now. Wattpad is having a massive glitch where story update notifications aren’t being sent out (as of March-April), and not all readers follow me—so I really don’t want anyone to miss the rewritten chapters I’ve been pouring my heart into. ✍️
          
          I’m not going anywhere—just waiting for the “all clear” so everyone gets the ping when I post. Your patience means the world, and I promise the wait will be worth it ✨
          
          ☹️I’m a little bummed because I miss you ladies, but only the best for you ♥️. Feel free to drop by the message board anytime—I’m always up for a chat, and I’m literally never leaving lol. ☕️ 

Aileedales

@ZooeyGooey I know. That was my initial plan but upon further reflection ☝️, yeah… insert curse word here. lol

@Aileedales I was going to say just post an announcement whenever you’re an uploading a new chapter but you’re right. Not all readers follow authors. They save the books to their libraries. ☹️

@Aileedales I thought it was my phone being glitchy. My notifs has been too silent since the new social feed feature.

✨ Rewrite Update ✨
          
          Hey loveys! ♥️ 
          
          Quick update on ‘This Time Around.’
          
          Since Chapters 1–23 are now fully finalized, I realized that Chapters 24 onward need a major rewrite to match the revised version of the story. Because of that, I’m currently writing those chapters from scratch, so the process is taking longer than I initially planned. ️ 
          
          If I left the first draft of those chapters up, a lot of things would stop making sense because of the upcoming changes. So I’ve temporarily unpublished Chapter 24 onward while I work on the rewritten version.
          
          Moving forward, the story will be significantly changed compared to the original first draft, with expanded scenes and new developments that better fit the finalized chapters.
          
          Don’t worry—the story isn’t going anywhere. It’s just getting a proper glow-up. 
          
          Thank you so much for your patience while I polish the rest of the book. ☺️ Have a great weekend!

✨ Finalized Chapters Uploaded ✨
          
          Hey loveys! ♥️ 
          
          Finalized versions of Chapters 11–23 of ‘This Time Around’ are officially re-uploaded! 
          
          The flu derailed my original deadline, but I’m back in the saddle. Yeehaw!
          
          Because of the revisions in these finalized chapters, you may notice some inconsistencies between the first draft and the finalized version. Chapters 24 onwards will likely have major revisions as well.
          
          If you don’t see the changes, try removing the book from your library and adding it back—that usually refreshes the updated chapters!

✨ Finalized Chapters Update ✨ 
          
          Hi loveys! ♥️ 
          
          Reuploads for ‘This Time Around’ might be a little slower this week because I’m currently fighting off a flu. My brain is kind of floating around in flu limbo ☠️ right now, but I’m still working on the edits whenever I can. ️ 
          
          Thank you so much for being patient with me. I really appreciate all of you sticking with the story while I revise ⚒️ and finalize it! 

Aileedales

@ilonaandreearadu Thank you so much! ♥️ I’ll definitely try that. Ginger, lemon, and honey tea sounds perfect right now.

✨ Finalized Chapters Uploaded ✨
          
          Hey loveys! Finalized versions of Chapters 1–10 of ‘This Time Around’ are officially re-uploaded! Brace yourself for added scenes, sharper tension, and explicit language.
          
          If you don’t see the changes, try removing the book from your library and adding it back (I did some chaotic A/B testing and that fixed it).
          
          I’m considering this my birthday weekend celebration, lol ♥️  
          
          More re-uploads coming this week!

Aileedales

@ZooeyGooey Thank youu! Hopefully, the rest of  thefinalized chapters will be re-uploaded in two weeks. Wish me luck!
