Any #BookSky 📚 able to search Christmas Eva After on Amazon? It’s not popping up 😭 Like The Matrix: if you can find it, congrats—you’re one of the few who can see the truth. If not, it’s more Truman Show—you’ve entered a world where my book might be real..or maybe it’s all been a weird simulation 🙀😬
