Hi Kim Slater
How are you? I hope you are keeping well, writing the books Smart I love that book so much. Thank you Hana Hamie
The world that One of Us is set in is described so well that the book is very convincing and I really did feel I was stood with K the whole time. I feel that this story is full of emotion and I want to relive the excitement by reading it again.
This book was really good and it was one of my favourite books. The characters were really good and my favourite character was K/Verity. I liked her because she seemed nice and it must have been hard to keep that secret.
