Acknowledgements
Initially called “Number 19,” Intensity has been a long time coming. Actually being the second book I’ve ever written, I never thought it’d see the light of day! The fact that you are reading it right now couldn’t have happened without the support of many.
To God for making this dream come true. You never cease to amaze me and I am forever humbled by your blessings.
Thank you to my family (Mommy, Daddy & Janine) for all the love and support you have given me. I only hope to make you proud! I love you all very much!
To my husband, my biggest cheerleader. Ahh! It’s happening! I love you so much!
Thank you to my girls for cheering me on! I truly appreciate all your love and friendship <3
A big thanks to Jayne for reading/editing the first draft of Number 19! Without your thoughts and guidance this manuscript would surely have been collecting dust J
To my Limitless Publishing family especially, Jennifer, Jessica, Dixie and my awesome editor, Toni. Thanks for all the opportunities and believing in me.
Finally to my BFF. From the moment we asked each other to be Best Friends (ha!) and all the inside jokes (marshmallow man!) in between, you have truly made life an awesome adventure! This book is based on us and I hope you spot the inside jokes that I’ve littered throughout the chapters. Though we may not have met our favorite boy band ourselves, I still believe one day we will. Always remember July 18th! I love you!

As a self-renowned bookworm, Lim’s love for reading has inspired her to pen her own novels and hopes her readers will fall in love with her stories as much as she enjoys writing them.
