Have you ever loved something to the extent that you could lie blatantly about it? In Jalilah's case, she had. She had loved ballet since she was a little girl, but being born from a northern Nigerian family, she had never got to be the ballerina sh...
How are y'all and I'm sorry to those that'd get a notification on this book and think it's an update, when it really isn't. So, I got something to report to y'all about, today, a reader insulted me on Instagram and it's solely because of this book.
AsmauTambaya I don't know her wattpad handle but I believe this is it.
I'll drop how our chat went through below.

I feel so disheartened. I know this isn't the first time I've encountered rude readers in my life. Readers that feel they're entitled to your work of art simply because they've started reading it and they thin that gives them the right to it.
And it makes me wonder; do we go to Colleen Hoover and her likes, and ask them to leave their books free to us. Or do we even have it mind that we'd ever get their books for free? We don't. Why? Because we believe they're international and we believe their books are worth every penny? Or do we go to their dms or comments sections and 'beg' them to leave their books for free. Or just distribute it to whoever wants?
Them why our own?
How could you insult a writer that wants to monetize their hardwork? What for? What sort of entitlement mentality is this? When I've clearly mentioned that this book is going to be preview only, why bother to read if you know you either can't afford to buy or you don't feel like the book is worth your money?
Why would you feel entitled to my work and feel that how dare I monetize it? Why would you claim to love and enjoy reading my book but decide it's not worth your penny and you can even insult me if I dare ask you to pay for it? I mean, it's not a must to buy it, I've never begged someone to read any of my books, then why would you make it seem as if I have you at gun point to read it and then ask you to pay? After I've mentioned it's only preview.
This post is to solely inform y'all that I believe amongst you I have my most supportive and lovely readers. Who wouldn't mind to support me with the tittle I chose to monetize my works with. I appreciate y'all and will forever love y'all.
But please. For those of you that decide to be either commenting or coming to my dm to either beg or ask me to complete it for free, y'all should stop. I feel that being too nice and accommodating is bringing too much disrespect to the table and it has now resorted to insults. I appreciate you reading my work, but if you can't buy it to read please it's understandable if you stop reading it. Thank you.
Below is her Instagram handle. If you know her wattpad handle please tag her so she can see it.
