<----Please if you haven't, read the epilogue!

Well...here goes nothing.

Be prepared, cause as you know I'm a HUGE rambler! So this is rather long but I'd appreciate if you read it, this is me talking to you now.

This is the official end of TSIWF.

I want to thank you all for about the thousandth time for reading The Summer I won't forget, I put a lot of effort into this book and it really was time consuming, stressful at times and overall a fun experience for me to test my skill. I have loved most of it but sometimes I doubt myself and a comment from you guys always makes me day. Thank you all for you kind support and messages, thank you for voting and thank you for helping me get closer to my dream of becoming an author!

In the chapter titled 'Final Farewell' I received a few comments asking me about about a certain song that related to a few of the lines so I am going to clear the air know.

A year ago I was sat in the back of my car, listening to the complaints of my 7 year old sister who was then 6 as we travelled back to the holiday camp in the Isle of Wight. I had not yet started my wattpad account but I knew I wanted one after my friend asked me to read a fanfic that had her name in it. (I was going to upload the most boring story ever, but yes thankfully I deleted that!) and anyway I was thinking about how my book really wasn't any good and that I needed a new idea. I put my earphones in and I pressed shuffle on my iPhone music.

And what song came up?

Summer love by One Direction.

I stared out the window and then it dawned on me. I could write about a summer love!

So slowly, very slowly I began to type up the first chapter of TSIWF in my iPhone notes!

I actually uploaded it and I didn't tell my friends, I felt scared of what they would think if they knew I was writing. So when a friend thought she had come across me I quickly told her it wasn't me and deleted TSIWF for what I felt like forever.

But she got off my back and I re-uploaded it.

One of my friends saw through the facade no matter how many times I tried to tell her it wasn't me, and soon my close friends new of my online wattpad identity. And it was sure hard telling them that I had secretly been writing for 2 years.

I had a few days where I felt that my book sucked so I posted a discussion in the wattpad forum titled: should I just give up? People said no and read my book. Even well known wattpad writer Chelle Fillon writer of spin the bottle!

I am not suggesting that you use this to get you more reads. Be proud of your work and be patient.

Imagine how shocked I was when we reached 1K! I can't believe we are at 110K now! What!

A few people tell me this is the best book they have read on wattpad, I'll have to disagree but that is my opinion no matter how happy those comments make me!

Sequel time!

I have not actually got the title name for the sequel but I have hinted at some events in the epilogue.

Be prepared for more drama, new faces and a new story line because this one is going to be very different.

Yes, I can confirm it will be based on their college lives but that is all I am giving away!

I truly hope that you go on to read it!

Yeah, I don't know what to say about it! I haven't written anything yet except ideas and a brief list of events.

(P.S when I wrote this, I didn't have a name, it is now called 'Remembering our Summer' and is out now on my wattpad!)

Also I might make an Instagram account to let you guys know what is happening with the new book and what I'm up to and pictures of book edits I have made and stuff. Comment your opinion I don't know how I feel with having two.

----------------------------------------------

Just quickly! (I am so sorry) people I would like to thank!

My wonderful family for supporting me even though they don't know what I write and what my user name is. Even though they keep asking to read it.

My beautiful wattpad friends and followers! Love you guys man!

(The next two are a little weird but hey fangirl by name fangirl by nature!)

My favourite author J.K Rowling for being an inspiration to me and providing the best book series in the world. Potterhead and proud. Don't judge.

One direction for singing summer love and giving me the idea. But also for being yet another inspiration to me. Yeah I don't seem like the type who likes them do I? Well please don't think any less of me and don't judge me on that!

Thank you to one of my best friends Alyssa (yes you Lissie) for reading this book and designing the cover and telling me about how much youliked the book while sitting next to me in history and for listening to me drone on and on about it! Love you for that Lis, you don't know how thankful I am to you.

To another best friend Nia for reading the first few chapters of my book and for being one of the first to read it. She probably won't know that I'm thankful to her to as she stopped reading but oh well it is here anyway!

And lastly to you. Yes you the reader. I now speak directly to you. Thank you so much for reading once again and I will thank you as many times as needed. Love you <3

Don't know what else to say!

I'm sad now! But looking forward to giving you guys a sequel!

I hope you think of Danzel this summer when you are out and think of the Isle of Wight.

I'm Campervangirl2000 aka Lauren and this is me saying goodbye for the summer. (Summer for real this time) and I will see you in September hopefully, with the first few chapters of my books!

Goodbye for now :) x
