Reviews
Great story!
Hazel001
Joy Chan did a great job reading this story. The narration was very clear and well-read, with very minimal to no background noise. She did not read too slow or too fast. I couldn't say enough good things about it. Just great quality! The story itself was sad & tragic in the end, if you like "Romeo and Juliet", this is very similar to that. All in all, I give it 5 stars!
Excellent
