Hey everyone! Thanks for looking at this book and deciding to devote your time and eyes to it! I hope you'll love the little love story I'm trying to weave here. Whether it's your first time reading this or you're on your fifth re-read, please know that I am truly grateful for your support towards me as an author.
Please know that this version is the first draft of Keeping A Straight Face. This means that it is very unpolished; it has not been edited, may contain minor grammar/spelling/syntax errors, passive voice, tense changing and other stuff. None of these things will affect your understanding of the storyline, however. The reason why I post my first drafts is so that new readers and other interested people are able to view the story before publication and/or purchase of the novel after publication. If you're interested in reading the edited versions of this novel, please skip to my "Premium Access - Patreon" chapter in this book, or look for the "Patreon Previews" book on my profile.
If you wish to keep tabs on the publication process, or if you wish to get updates on my other novels and me being an author in general, feel free to follow me on the following social media outlets. The best way to receive updates is to follow me here on Wattpad & Instagram, keep my novels in your library, and to pay attention to any announcements I post.

Now that that's all out of the way: 1. This book is based in Perth, Western Australia. Aside from that, all locations, places, buildings, schools etc are fictional. 2. It's set in the first-person perspective, with POV's alternating between Taylor Ferguson and Darko Ulyanov. Other main characters get their perspectives shown, but almost all of the novel is shot through Darko's and Taylor's perspectives. 3. While there are no sex scenes in this novel, there are points where it's alluded to that characters have sex/partake in sexual acts. It's not explicitly shown. If you would like to view the sex scenes that are eluded to, please read my other book titled "Bonus Chapters". There, you will find all of the sex scenes.
Fan-fiction and fan-work is highly encouraged. If at any point you feel inspired while reading my story, whether it's a drawing or artwork or a little one-shot you want to write, feel free to create it and send me a message about it so I can view it. It has always been a dream to receive fan-made work; if you can make that dream come true, go for it! I'll also post it on my Instagram page too, with your permission of course.
Once again, thank you so much for picking up this novel. I truly hope you enjoy reading it.
Much love, Jacob Sinne. ❤️
