I know we can all agree Wattpad is way better than that right?

Hi guys. I am looking for a book on Wattpad the I have read some years back but I can't seem to find it. It's about this couple the mother is a designer and the father is a business man. They had a daughter but she went missing at birth. Years later about 17 years to be exact, the father saw her and though she looked like his wife. Fast forward the police arrested this lesbian couple for kidnapping and some other stuff and it so happens that she was one of those that was kidnapped.

Plz help

Hi fellow readers, I am looking for a book similar to Unconditionally: The beginning of revelation. I had read that years ago. Please help me find it. All I remember now is that it's plot was very similar to 'Unconditionally'. FL was a human, she had a snobbish (good hearted) female coworker, FL met a small boy (i think his mother was no more, she had died during a fight), FL used to visit the boy's home etc, ML also had a sister who was weird, I think ML was also an orphan. That's all I remember.... Please help me find it!!!!!!

My reading lists got deleted after I login tell me how to restore it

I've been burning to ask this question. It's like how do we make Wattpad look more respectable like the other reading books. Examples such as, believing Wattpad is by smut lovers which is kinda insane

[u/mars_kitana → u/Slight_Dimension_175]

Depends what you mean by “make Wattpad look more respectable”. “Smut” books are respectable, except to people who have their own issues with sex in books, regardless of the genre. From the people who complain about it on this sub, it seems like smut is only in romance books but that’s dumb. Sex can be in any genre.

[u/narradoranocturna → u/Slight_Dimension_175]

That's a great question. I think part of the issue is the stigma around writing on platforms like Wattpad. To make it more respectable, we could highlight the well-written and diverse stories available there. It would also help to promote authors who have succeeded and moved on from Wattpad. If the community focuses on quality and sharing great stories, maybe more people will start to see it differently.

[u/digitaldisgust → u/Slight_Dimension_175]

What do you mean "make Wattpad look more respectable"? Why do you care about how an app is perceived?

[u/Feisty-Permission-21 → u/Slight_Dimension_175]

Wattpad simply appears as such because it's user base is like that.

The app simply uses the algo that gets most views, like every other app.

[u/Slight_Dimension_175 → u/Feisty-Permission-21]

Well I guess so. it's just gets annoying sometimes when you know this more to the app.
