Hello, my little lovelies!

So I was sitting there watching season 2 of Space Force on Netflix when I realized that: "You know what? I'm feeling a little nostalgic right now.".

Why did that feeling suddenly pop up in my brain, you may ask?

But it did and I figured I would take a trip down memory lane and list some fun facts about the ORIGINAL There's Only You.

So I present to you...

A list of fun facts about TOY!!!

*cue the applause*

Fact #1: The very first title of this book was "Just A Typical Love Story"

Yeah, I know. Too cliche. So I changed it to "From Best Friends To Soulmates"

...

Again, cliche as shit.

So then I settled on There's Only You

Fact #2: I started writing this on a fine Easter's day.

Fact: #3: The original plot was that Bella was in love with her best friend.

...

You probably got that from the second title, so...

*turns to behind the scenes*

Why are we just now revealing this??

Fact #4: I want to believe that the antagonist's name was Troy?

It was definitely Troy.

*long pause*

Wait, was it?

* awkwardly looks around the behind the scenes for help*

Fact #5: In the original book, Zach's name was the same, but Bella was named Izzy.

Fact #6: I realized that the MCs need best friends...

So later in the book, I introduced Victoria and Samuel (he was British 🥰) who got engaged.

Fact #7: Zach and Izzy got married in the middle of the book (when they were still in their teens) and the book ended with them having a baby.

Fact #8: There was a chapter (36) when Izzy accused him of cheating and drove away, Zach was running on the street behind her car and got hit.

Fact #9: Izzy had a baby sister named Addy (who gained a musical interest in one of the bonus scenes).

Fact #10: The original had 60+ chapters and 6K (?) reads.

Fact #11: The original took place in Malibu. Not in Los Angeles.

Fact #12: I felt bad that I put Izzy through hell so in the end, she was in a car crash, Zach prayed that she would forget all the bad that happened to her and she did. She remembered Troy (again, unsure of the name), but not that he treated her like shit.

Fact #13: Zach and Izzy's birthday was August 7th.

Fact #14: I almost never rewrote it and I'm very glad I did!

And that's it!

Even though I remembered something else, but I forgot about it and now, it's gonna bug tf out of me.

.................

Okay, moving on!

So that was a little history of TOY. It feels like it was a lifetime ago!

But it's funny that it all ended with this successful book with nearly 5K reads, 1K+ votes and 1.4K+ comments, added to five Wattpad official reading lists and won three awards!!!

With all that being said, my arms are hurting and now I'm trying to re-watch season 2 of Manifest so thank you,

And goodnight.
