The Wrong Crowd [Wattys 2020]

Vote of thanks ❤️

I firstly want to thank the almighty God for granting me the life and strength needed to finish this book. I wouldn't have gone anywhere without his help.

I am thankful also to Teefabulous who pushed me to start writing a Nigerian book and inspired me with a good plot idea which I decided to employ.

She supported me every step of the way, even when I had writer's block, she was there to assist, she would start writing a chapter for me thereby spurring me on with a starting point. Infact, she deserves the credit for me trying to stick to the plot line. I love you so much baby girl, cheers to more memories together ❤️

Secondly, I want to thank my boyfriend, Philip (hint hint: His picture is in the cast so you can look it up). He has been a huge encouragement to me, always trying to motivate and cheer me up when writing each chapter.

Next, I want to thank all my Nigerian readers. When I started this book, I was afraid because it was my first time writing a Nigerian Teen Fiction story and you all can admit that some places were cheesy. But I have been improving by God's grace and it's all because of the helpful feedback I have been getting from y'all. Eshey, gracias, kamsamida, dohhh, I am deeply grateful.

I want to also appreciate those Americans that have stuck to my book and have been following it up with every update. I highly appreciate y'all, I would be mentioning names but you guys are just too numerous to count. I love every single one of you ❤️

I am thankful to those readers I recommended my book to. Most of them replied me positively and started reading my book and have become fans of my story. Your comments motivated me a lot and the constant push to update was there ❤️ Thank you 🙏

I want to thank Naija Stars book club founded by Teefabulous and xxMarygoldxx . They have helped me get my story to some new readers which didn't include my round members.

Lastly, I am thankful to every single one of you who commented on this book either for feedback purposes, reading pleasures or for support. I love you all to the ends of the earth.

To those who have made me lovely covers: Stylesoftimothee, Teefabulous, Drippedstunner_  and @katherineWitherspoon, you all are amazing in every way.

Ishpeep, smasherluv, Ujurittajuliana, quaymattt_, Orangeee, prevail_mc, __stephanny__, skymoon, and others too numerous to mention, I see you 👀

Ibokwenu, kwenu, kwezu enu (It's a greeting) Warri how una Dey na?

Yoruba ekabo ooo, Hausa I greet you, from any state you are reading this book, I salute una ❤️

See you guys in Book 2 💗
