Alette

introduction

I asked him,

"Can you breathe okay with my head on your chest like this?"

His answer was,

"It's the only way I know how to breathe."

-Paul Kalanithi, When Breath Becomes Air

PLEASE READ THIS WHOLE INTRODUCTION

Alette Faye was a sweet girl. She was exceptionally kind and had an air of simplicity. Between her part-time job at the bakery, her classes, her time spent tending to her flowers and walking in the fields, she didn't get the opportunity to experience much. Her past created fears in her that she seemingly couldn't overcome, and then she met him.

For when she meets him, she should have run away in fear, but she stayed. She stayed and she opened her big heart for a man who grew a heart just for her.

She makes him forget. She makes him feel. She gives him love.

this is a work of fiction. all names, characters, places and incidents in the book are fictitious. any resemblance to real individuals and places is completely coincidental.

if at any point, there is anything close to plagiarism in my work, please point it out to me

this trope has been written time and time again, so yes there will be similarities that you may notice with other forms of media that you have already seen/read/watched. please don't feel the need to comment about other characters and other books while you're reading mine - it's truly so discouraging to hear as a writer, especially when i am not intentionally copying other work - i would rather you not relate my work to others; it's not nice seeing a notification for a comment on my book, and the comment just being "this is like this" or "this reminds me of this" or "this other book was better" :)

"if you only pay attention to something with another thing on your mind, you might as well not be paying attention at all."

please be kind and respectful. yes this book is free to read online, but that doesn't mean that there isn't a person (hello, i'm the person) sitting at home and writing it tirelessly and passionately.

hello friends! welcome to a story that, hopefully, will make you feel all kinds of goodness inside.

i simply wanted to write a book that i would enjoy reading: bad boy but not toxic or rude, good girl but strong and not a pushover, a plain storyline, lots of happy feelings and love that was easy

please be patient in the first handful of chapters, it gets better; this is a first draft and i will be editing it periodically - also, i'm fully aware that this book is cliché/fast-paced, you don't have to tell me, it's not meant to have an extraordinary storyline, it's just a simple read

the characters need time to grow, and the beginning of this book is not necessarily the best. i would recommend waiting until you're further along in the book before passing judgement

again: constructive criticism is one thing but being downright rude or degrading is another - please be mindful before pressing send on your comment.

thank you for reading and i'm forever grateful for your votes + comments + love
