You will love this beautiful book and will cheer for Maybelline as she faces her challenges and finds her voice!
I wrote the 1st draft of Loophole in 2022, when I was pregnant with my daughter. A lot has changed since then, but my mission with this novel remains the same: to provide positive coping skills for children dealing with anxiety! 🥰
