So at worst this year, I gave my friend a book. It is not exactly a book, but more like a novel. So it is about a fantasy where a girl got into a tunnel and she travel travels back in time. I is what I can remember from the introduction. And the reason why I got that specific, not as a gift for my friend was since, like, we had mentioned the novel before and uh, we were not interested in how the novel was presented like the artwork and as well as the description of it. So I thought that it would be nice if you could you know, read the novel together. So I actually got it for him. We were close when, like, since we sit not right next to each other in our class, it could somehow during our breaks, we did together, and the book was really interesting. We enjoyed it.

So last year, I gave my friend a book. It was not just any book, but more like a novel. The story was about a fantasy where a girl enters a tunnel and travels back in time, at least that's what I remember from the introduction. I chose this specific novel as a gift for my friend because we had talked about it before and were both interested in the artwork and description of the novel. I thought it would be nice for us to read it together. Since we were close and sat near each other in class, we would spend our breaks reading it together. We both found the book really interesting and enjoyed it. One of the reasons I chose this novel was because it fit my budget as a high school student. I didn't have a part-time job and didn't have much money to spend on a birthday gift for my friend, but I still wanted to get him something he would like. I'm glad I chose the right gift.
