I’ve used Wattpad in the past both as a reader and a writer and while I enjoyed the experience and found the interface easy enough to use, I was far too lazy to spend the time meandering around and working out how to get the most out of it. This book was brilliant in that respect, making up the shortfall of knowledge that I didn’t have time to work out for myself. I may well try Wattpad again at a future date.
