Interestingly, this masterpiece began with Wattpad! Wattpad houses many best-selling books from talented writers worldwide. It’s a go-to reading site for many teenagers, young adults and adults. There are lots of quality stories there, and we’re glad Constantin Film discovered this gem written by a Malaysian writer!

Claudia has so much talent on her sleeves

Aside from writing, Claudia is also a musician! Moreover, she writes lyrics and produces music herself too! Isn’t there anything this talented woman can’t do?

We hope the movie will get lots of love and support from many just like the book is. Cheers to a bright future ahead, Claudia!
