AND YOU MADE ME PURCHASE COINS FOR THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE IT WAS JUST THAT GOOD!!! THIS HAS BECOME ONE OF MY FAVES 🥰 I SWEAR THE WAY YOU WRITE IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. AND YOUR INCREDIBLE MIND FOR WRITING THIS BOOK. WOW JUST WOW. I LOVE YOU ♥️♥️♥️"

"This book was amazing, I think I read it entirely within 4-6 hours, and loved every fucking second of it. It was absolutely wonderful, and, absolutely mind blowing. Can't wait to take another 5 hours to re-read it hahaha. Absolutely worth the read, even if it takes days or weeks."

"love, thank you so, so fuckin much for this story. it's been one of the best realistically written stories i've ever read, whether here, or somewhere else. i absolutely love all your characters (except hazel, duh). thank you again, and if this masterpiece of a book would get published, let me know so i can buy a copy too!"

"ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS EVER; I LOVE YOU AUTHOR AND I LOVE THE EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER YOU PUT ME THROUGH"

"I really loved reading this. The story was so detailed that I felt like I was right there on the scene, watching the events happen right in front of my eyes. It really was an emotional ride, feeling what Mary had felt, (even though I never experienced such turmoil) and I'm really happy that (they) got a happy ending because god knows they need one. I learned a lot reading your story, and I can't wait to read your future works along with the past ones as well!"

"Omggg this book was an emotional rollercoaster from beginning to end and im soooo glad i found and read it! Woww such a beautiful book & the day it gets published, im gonna be the first in the queue girllll😭😭😂😂💖💖keeeep up the great work, cos i need more amazing books like thissss!! Also wth this piece of art took you 6 months??? Im impresseddd👐👐✨One more thing😂😂im gonna start doing head radio with my friends bcos why not get in touch with my mary side😂👌"

"I think this was the perfect ending. This is such a beautifully written book, I am really excited to start on your other books :) If they are written half as well they will still blow my mind! I know it :) I LOVE YOUR WRITING SO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏"

"I swear to god I love this series sooooo much, like, words don't even exist."

"Love. I'm crying. Loved all. Such a journey. This is one of the things that means to live for me. I live for stories. And love each bit of it. Thank you Author for the amazing experiences and emotions you made me feel!"

"Best book ever! I was soooo invested in the characters and your beautiful writing really brought this book to life! I enjoyed every second thank you Author <3"

"I can't even describe how much I loved your book, it's down to earth, light hearted, and LGBTQ. I want to re read it a million times. Tysm for writing this wonderful piece of literature."

"Fuck. This book needs to be converted into a long ass movie or TV series.. yeah TV series would be great more viewing time. There are only handful of books I love and this definitely made top five. U have a gift hope this gift brings a bright future to u."

"Hands down, my most favorite character from this story is Poe the crow aka the crow with a kitten. And Mary Kincaid aka the girl who lived. You have such an unbelievably believable story that after reading it, I am beginning to think that your smoke stuck to my shirt. I feel like you and your family and friends are a neighbor or could be someone I know. You could be someone common with uncommon circumstances that can really happen. You could be real. Are you real? P.S. Halley, and Leif are wonderful"

"i've finished this last week but i only had time now to express how deeply touched am i to your writing creativity. im so glad i got to discover this before you publish its sequel. this is indeed very much intelligently written and too realistic that the flow was very natural as if it was really happening right before my eyes. the scenes were so written so simply that made the story more enchantic. you stood out from the norm of writing. this is a 15/10. too good. please continue writing, we need more authors like you. thank youu for sharing this masterpiece, im looking forward for the sequel!!"

"not only one of the best stories I've read on Wattpad ... one of best including published stories as well..You have crazy talent. Your characters have tremendous depth... the dialogue is spot on... not one cringe worthy moment (ie he /she would never say that?.The overall story was real... raw... powerful."

"I love this book and the way you write. It's amazing how you make us love and hate your characters and want to be there for them 🤣 Life sometimes is bittersweet and not all of us are lucky to have "the perfect family" and that is what I like above all the things in your book, it's real, its deal with heartbreak and not only the one that comes from the love of your life. I like how Mary and Leif fight and find the way to be different from how their parents are, even though they have all the excuses to turn out to be as fucked up as them, they don't, they seek help, they find comfort between them and always look for the way to help themselves and the people around them, that is as real as it can get, that is life and you put all that in this AMAZING AND MARVELOUS BOOK. I wish you all the best things in this world so you can keep writing the way you are doing it now and if you ever get published I will make sure to buy your books💕 P.s: thanks for using my name in your book With love, Mary💕"

"BEST. BOOOK .EVER!!! Oh yeah this has topped the many I've read. Thank youuuuu so much"

"I've stayed up until three am two nights in a row just reading this book, AND I REGRET IT A LITTLE BECAUSE ITS END OF TERM AND I HAVE SO MUCH HOMEWORK, but it's been a beautiful ride, the perfect amount of drama and spice kept me unable to put it down. Poe is definitely the cutest bird ever (mine is a meanie) overall, thank you for totally wrecking me, I definitely cried a few times. This isn't a story that I'll be forgetting anytime soon : )"

"I can't believe it's over. It was such a ride. I really enjoyed this story. The drama was endless and the characters felt so real. I got to know them well and enjoyed my time with them so much. I had a lot of fun with this story."

"Wow the characters in this is phenomenal 😍"

"this is by far one of my favourite stories and will re read it later in the year.hope maybe you can further their life story maybe a few years down the line and hopefully still in love and still together. thanks you are a great writer."

"Ι fucking love this. *standing applause for the author for providing me this excited feeling in my stomach*"

"Dude I'm so touched right now! If I wasn't been so cold-hearted, I would cry! I'm so happy that I read this book, and even more happier that I've met you! I do hope that this book ends on a real bookshelf, and I'll try to help you with that as much as I could; you really deserve it, so does the book! ❤️❤️❤️I don't know if I'm able to let go of the book. I honestly loved this book so much, the epilogue is very satisfying. It is definitely one of the books I'd recommend to people! I'm so happy that I was the first one to ever read this book! AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOUR OTHER BOOKS!"

"Hey, just wanna say, your books are amazing, and I love how things aren't sugarcoated, and how you are so creative with your stories, as well as congratulations on having one of your best novels "When Mary Met Halley" making the HOMEPAGE of Wattpad! I love that fact that you wrote "I Can't Think Inside This Box", and you taught me more about autism. I'm happy as well that you aren't one of those people who judge people like me for being bi, or gay, or lesbian, etc. It means a lot when I see an amazing author who doesn't shun the LGBTQ+ Community people out. I love your books. Keep up the good work, and write about some of the more serious things that you do! You really are an amazing writer!" (author note: I am of course also part of the LGBTQ+ community!)

"Woah, another book to add to my MOST FAVORITE BOOKS <3 I love the rawness of your story, the way you show us about real life problems, its a good break from happily ever after books and such. Thank you so much for creating this book and please don't be so harsh on mary in the sequel hihi 💖"

"Sweet! I just want more of them. I feel like I've been living in their house for weeks now. I love it when characters make you want to move in next door to them so you can catch up on their adventures forever..."

"Author, this fucking book means so much to me you have no idea, not only did you manage to make me feel every emotion your characters went through but you also were able to tell such a complicated story in a smooth fluid way, man i love you i swear."

"NO! THIS CANNOT BE THE END! I'm so happy that I read this book, and even more happier that I've met you! I do hope that this book ends on a real bookshelf, and I'll try to help you with that as much as I could; you really deserve it, so does the book! ❤️❤️❤️"

"oh yes definitely, you're already in my faves reading list! i absolutely love the way you write and i just want other people to know about it ♥️✨"

"THIS STORY WAS FREAKING AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL, it's been such a long time since I've been addicted to one so much, thank you, author seriously!❤️❤️"

"Now I see the hype over this book!! This is the most realistic books I've read on here. Very much emotional recking as well, but the wait to chapter 55 was worth the wait (could have drop it in the 30s but i forgive you). Awesome story! Can't wait for the next book!"
