      Thanks Teagan! I especially loved the psychiatric insights – makes me feel really happy that I wrote the book after being unsure of the topic for a while. HUGS! XX

      Thank you Ali! Olga has really made me proud to have taken the time to read and review it when she really is so busy, and this book getting reviewed by a psychiatrist is the most epic thing for me. I’m so relieved she never hated it.
