I am totally overrated – Page 2

If it’s whatever day this is I must be sick.

Today I planned on going over all the craziness of the book tour but I’m postponing for a bit because I’ve come down with a mild case of I-HAVE-THE-PLAGUE-AND-I’M-GOING-TO-DIE. And I asked Victor to feel my head to see if I have a fever and he was like, “Ew. No. Why do you always ask me to touch youContinue reading “If it’s whatever day this is I must be sick.”

Hey. Do you need something?
