Dear author, Laurel,
I don't know where to start. Within the past week, I have read all of your so-far published books here on Wattpad and I really want to share my thoughts and feelings after doing so.
I don't think I have ever read a better though-through, more beautifully-written and just overall magical book series here on Wattpad. Your characters and the way you wrote them and their feelings feel so real and I really do feel as if I know them. Thank you for letting me fall in love with them and share both their pain and joy.
I really want to thank you and applaud you for the way you demonstrate so many important aspects of life. I particularly enjoyed the way you conceptualize trauma and also center friendships in your stories. I sit here crying now thinking of the bonds of Ember and Greyson, Fox and Cam. I find it so beautiful that friendships, childhood trauma and more get as much space as romantic love in your stories. That is what makes them feel so real.
I catch myself thinking of Fox. Of wanting a friend like that. Your characters, and therefore ultimately you, have inspired me. Reminded me that it is worth it to go find people similar to us in the world, even when it is often cruel. To be kind. And also to create art. I'm really amazed thinking of how someone probably living on the other side of the world can impact me on such a personal and emotional level. I do want to thank you for that.
The way you have created a fictional universe and invited all of us to be able to experience it is beyond genius. My brain felt so satisfied realizing that even the smallest details matter and are connected. When I first read Ember's 1st book, I had no idea that what I was reading is all gonna be relevant by the time I start reading Between. You are a mastermind.
I'm sitting here in tears -both grateful and a little sad. Grateful to you for what must've been months of work. A little sad that I have read it so quickly.
Keep being brilliant.
all the love, klara
