I think sometimes we become so consumed by the negative aspects of something that we forget it may have also brought comfort, strength, or healing into someone else’s life. Yes, I’m talking about FMTIOY. For a long time, I was so focused on the fear of the wrong message being taken from this story that I stopped seeing the good it had done too. But after reading all your comments, messages, and experiences shared with me, I realized something I genuinely hadn’t understood before.
I never knew Neev’s journey had impacted some of you so deeply. I never knew this story became a source of comfort for some of you during your darkest periods, or that you found strength in Neev’s resilience when you needed something to hold onto the most. And hearing that honestly overwhelmed me emotionally because that was always the true heart of this book from the very beginning. HEALING.
I am so unbelievably conflicted after reading all your messages. A part of me still doesn’t want to continue the book because of the moral dilemma surrounding it. But another part of me desperately wants to see the end of this journey with all of you because I have spent so many years living with these characters in my head that they no longer feel fictional to me anymore.
They exist in the smallest parts of my daily life now. Sometimes I hear a specific part of a song I once imagined for Neev and Ansel, and suddenly the entire story comes rushing back into my mind. Sometimes while writing Theo’s dialogues, I get reminded of Kyler because they share similar energy in certain ways.

Ma'am it's your choice do what your heart tells u but this story is so much more than zev , the world building, all the characters ,the scenes ( book 1 ansel and neev cooking that indian dish , book 2 neev painting him, book 2 neev gifting him the bracelet, book 2 the whole part where neev is grieving for the lost baby the conflicted emotions she feels book 2 neev confronting zev and then jumping in the water book 1 silas asking neev if her mans broke ) the dialogues nd just the words u use it feels like poetry author i wish i could have that skill too . The way you write personified would be poetry I hope u understand what I mean
I don't think anything has made me feel like your book has
