AAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!

I read the first sentence and knew it was horrid. I am the biggest fool alive for reading this (even if it was only one sentence)! Now listen here closely, and I’m talking to you here Melanie Marks fans, this is the biggest mistake you’ve ever made! Now I know you may want to “stand out” or whatever. But let me tell you something right now: this is NOT the way. This book is ☠️🤬🤮😡🤒🤢😟🤨😒😞😔😟😕🙁☹️😣😖😫😩🥺😢😭😤😠😡🤬🤯🥵
