Sitting on the edge of the tub, still naked, tears fell over my cheeks. Amazement over the fluttering in my abdomen consumed every sense.
"Lilli?" I faintly heard my name called. "Lilli! Are you okay? What’s wrong?"

Goodbye Goodreads, Badly Behaving Authors and Minions.

Yes, I said minions because that is apparently what Goodreads thinks of my readers. Not fans, but minions. Brainless, mindless fucktards who will blindly support someone no matter what.
