Thank you so much! It really means a lot to get feedback. I noticed that little bump right when I published it, but hopefully readers will be able to unserstand it was her Step Dad! I'm not really sure if I should continue it. Didn't plan the plot at all!

Hi! First, I'd like to say that you have a lot of good things going on here. You created a really interesting character; Laila seems a bit superficial at first, until you learn her story, so good job there.  I also really like the overall story line. One little thing I would change was the part where you described how her father died, but you then went on to say "Mom and Dad went to watch Max's karate class". That shouldn't be too difficult to fix, you could just make him a stepdad or something. Overall, great job and keep writing!

Thank you, and yes that's what I get from typing everything, with word documents and all, thank you though for telling me, I try to proof-read everything, but will sometimes miss some things.

&quot;I would rather hated million times for what i did then loved a million times for what i didn&#039;t do.&quot; - Daniel Moto<br /> &quot; I&#039;ve sought out to be the best i could posibly be but when i hit a roadblock in life what did i do, i had two choices either stay at the roadblock or i take this roadblock and make of it and go around it and achieve my goal. So, what will it be?&quot;- Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &quot;People take love like its a four letter word or just a phrase that you tell people or your friends all the time. But in reality love is much bigger than a merely phrase or 4 letter word. Instead love is a genuine promise or covenant to that special person.&quot;-Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;Why change yourself when you were made perfect and wonderfully by the creator of everything?&rdquo; &ndash; Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;If live is not hurtin then were really not living in.&rdquo; &ndash; B.

But.. what did she do to her dad? How did he die? What was Laila and Han's past? There are so many unanswered questions! I hope you create a "Laila's Life: Part Two!" That'd be awesome! If you want you could check out my book and comment! You are a very good writer! I was hooked.
