Neena Laskowski answered Amanda's question: I ordered this book at 1230 last night. According to indigo it’s “not yet released” yet it let em order it and it’s coming on the 13 of December. I hope it comes! The book should be released now right? Hi! Yes, it has been released. It might have been a time change issue. Unfortunately, I have little control over the global distribution. Thank you so much for ordering a copy! I hope you enjoy it!
