Dear readers,
          	
          	It hurts to say this, but I think I’m going to unpublish PBF soon. This was a hard decision to make, but I feel that the way that I portrayed Maxon and America’s relationship was wrong. I was living in an abusive household when I wrote PBF and TNP as a kid, and I internalized much of that behavior as “normal” because I didn’t understand the reality of what was happening to me at the time. Now that I’ve grown older and separated from abusive family members, I see that relationship is incredibly toxic and absolutely not in the spirit of the original series.
          	
          	I’m not sure if I will be able to revise this piece as it has been a long time since I read the series and I’m not familiar with many of the characters I wrote about anymore. But I don’t want to perpetuate these messages I don’t believe in as I know that The Selection has a younger audience. I will try my best to revise and republish, but I can’t make any promises at this time.
          	
          	All that being said, I would really appreciate your input on this as my readers.

Yeah I get it. When I read the book, I’m sorry to say but a lot of chapters didn’t portray a healthy relationship, as we saw it in the original books. Especially the thing about Maxon beating America and when she said it wasn’t the first time… I think america would have get divorce the first time he even laid a hand on her. But I think you should rewrite it on all but it was still good so you should re upload it one day

Dear readers,
          
          After 4 years in hiatus, I have returned!
          
          *trumpet sounds*
          
          I didn’t have the desire to write for many years as I was struggling with my mental health, but recently I’ve found my passion for writing again. I am now reading all of the comments I missed in those years that I was gone and feeling overwhelmingly grateful and nostalgic. This was a story that I started when I was just a teenager trying to cope with illness, and now as an adult I feel a desire to finish the work I started. I really cherish the community that supported my work for so many years, and so I feel that it’s only right to give my story an ending, so I shall do just that. Thank you for your continued support and patience!

Hey all,
          
          I'm rewriting PBF this summer to make it less confusing. I wrote it more than 5 years ago, so I'm going back and making lots of edits which I hope make the story easier and more enjoyable to read. Thank you for letting me know about all the confusion, I appreciate your feedback!

Hello all!
          
          My goodness, it's been a long time since I've been on Wattpad. However, the break was long overdue and very much needed for serious health issues. At the moment, I don't plan on continuing any of my stories until this summer. 
          
          I would very much like to finish my books on here! 
          
          When I saw how many people are still reading and commenting on a book I wrote years ago, I had tears in my eyes. You are all such wonderful people who mean so much to me. For the people who have been thinking about me in the meantime, you're all angels. I've never forgotten your kindness and support!
          
          Thank you for the happiness you have given me throughout the years. It has been a light for me in very dark times. I would like to continue to give back to you all as I begin writing again. Thank you for following me along this journey, this would not have been possible without you, my readers.
