Unfurling The Tangles #01

I don’t fall inlove at first sight but rather, I fall in love at the first heartfelt laugh, at the first banter, at the first exchange of meaningful discussion, at the first healthy argument, at the first shared experience, at the first bloom of deep friendship. I do not fall in love with just the pretty alone.

There were no dramas, no human cannibalism, and perverse misery. There’s only practicality and determination to live. Avalanche was entertaining to some extent but you have to accept the fact that it’s a book designed for Middle Grade and it’s really short.
