@maerespicio I think adding a pandemic touch would be a great idea....it's a very real thing happening for kids right now and reading about someone else's experience through one (fictional or otherwise) would be beneficial for them.

@Abdaddy @OCSAMediaCenter Thank YOU for writing such a moving story!

[Valerie Martin @VaMartin03]

I was recommended by @OCSAMediaCenter that I read "Like a Love Story" by @Abdaddy and it was absolutely beautiful and sad and moving and I loved every second of it. I cried twice. I've never read such a touching story in my entire life 😭❤

[Valerie Martin @VaMartin03]

@kacencallender Damn it, I heard this in my head as I read it 😂

[Valerie Martin @VaMartin03]

@saskwriter That would be awesome!! You should finish it sometime! 😄 I'm sure lots of people would use it while reading! I know I would have 😁

[Valerie Martin @VaMartin03]

I stayed up until 1am last night finishing this gem! Such a thrilling story and super eerie! Can't wait to share with my students this year, it's definitely getting added to my library! 😍 @saskwriter thank you SO much for sharing with me! The kids asked for more scary stories!
