Why I Built BookShook
Before this was a brand, it was a girl who loved—nay, breathed—stories.
Before it was a business, it was a lifeline.
These are the stories behind the sanctuary.
They’re not just my origin stories.
They’re the pages we’ve all lived through—the ones that changed us forever, and didn’t ask permission first.
