by Requested Reads
We are RequestedReads!! A very small team of writers who love turning real life drama into stories you can’t stop listening to. We take inspiration from stuff that actually happens to us and sometimes ideas from the internet. You know, the kind that makes you go, “uh... wtf?" No, we don’t just copy and paste (though that’d be way easier lol). We take those real-life moments and rewrites them into original stories meant to keep you hooked. Why first person tho? Because hearing it from the “I” perspective makes it feel more real like you’re living it. If you’re going through something or feel like no one else gets it trust us, you’re not alone. These stories might open your eyes, keep you entertained, and maybe help us all be a little less judgy. So yeah, real life’s already wild. We just tell it better.
