Thank you so much! It really means a lot to get feedback. I noticed that little bump right when I published it, but hopefully readers will be able to unserstand it was her Step Dad! I'm not really sure if I should continue it. Didn't plan the plot at all!

Hi! First, I'd like to say that you have a lot of good things going on here. You created a really interesting character; Laila seems a bit superficial at first, until you learn her story, so good job there.  I also really like the overall story line. One little thing I would change was the part where you described how her father died, but you then went on to say "Mom and Dad went to watch Max's karate class". That shouldn't be too difficult to fix, you could just make him a stepdad or something. Overall, great job and keep writing!

Thank you, and yes that's what I get from typing everything, with word documents and all, thank you though for telling me, I try to proof-read everything, but will sometimes miss some things.

But.. what did she do to her dad? How did he die? What was Laila and Han's past? There are so many unanswered questions! I hope you create a "Laila's Life: Part Two!" That'd be awesome! If you want you could check out my book and comment! You are a very good writer! I was hooked.
