[1/4] Someone, completely unprompted, wrote a review for my story, No Such Thing As Normal. πŸ₯²

I don't really know how to act right now. Such a kind, thoughtful thing to do for an author. So I came here to share some of my favorite quotes from the review.

In your early 20’s, you will meet a man that you think you like (you’re dumb). He will spend three months telling you everything you think you want to hear.

It is very important that you hit that man with your car.

What's up, weirdo (complimentary)?
A little birdy told me you're looking to support an indie author. I happen to only be 1% of the way to my goal for this month. I think it'd be really cool if you donated (please). No pressure (pretty please).
