Hi love! I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how much I appreciate your incredible work on Drive to Survive! It's become one of my all-time favorite fanfics, and I can’t put into words how much it means to me <3 Dylan is such a sweet, selfless character, and in some ways, she reminded me of myself. She’s so relatable and heartwarming.  The story has helped me a lot, especially on bad days when I needed something to make me feel happy. I started asking myself what would Dylan do and it's helped me in many situations LOL. I’m almost finished reading it, and I can’t stop recommending it to all my fellow F1 friends! Thank you for creating DTS—your work is amazing! Also, I kinda read almost all of it and forgot to vote, so your notifs might blow up tomorrow XD Have an awesome week <3

This is the loveliest message and I am SO glad!! Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me this xoxo

I like you, but I hate you for making me cry so much with Drive to Survive. I just found this book a couple of weeks ago, and I haven't cried this much over a book.Keep up the good work.

@fandomzloverz that's the best thing ever! I hope she likes it too xx

@fandomzloverz You are welcome. The book was just amazing. I couldn't stop crying and my friend rushed in thinking something was wrong after I explained she laughed and then said she wanted to read it her account is @Gleekloverz. Now we just talk about the book together.

@brightlysmiling  OMG, you have no idea how long I've been checking the notifications and hoping it will be an update for DTS and it's finally here! Yaaaaay! I'm gonna read it tomorrow in peace and leave so so so much comments.
            However I do not know what was up with netflix to name this show DTS... every second time I see it, I read STD... so STD buddy is even more hilarious, welcome to the word of tired eyes and slight dislexia :D I is fun here

@jehun_ibti that honestly means the world to me! i also reallyyyyy struggle to find F1 books with the quality of writing i enjoy, which is why i ended up writing my own but i know I'm super slow with updates right now! Work needs to calm down so i can focus on my true priority - DTS!
