"We never really get over our first crush. We just learn how to smile when the song comes on."

In a quiet corner of a school classroom, a boy was teased with a song -- and unknowingly, began writing a story in his heart that would last years.

I Hope You Smile When You Read This is not a love story.

It's a memory -- wrapped in chalk dust, school assemblies, flying pencils, and a girl who never knew she became the soundtrack to someone's growing up.

In this tender, true-to-heart memoir, Alezo takes you through the innocent chaos of childhood emotions: teasing that felt like music, a kick that carried regret, a pen that turned sacred, and a dance years later that held everything unsaid.

Told with simplicity, honesty, and poetic warmth, this book is a thank-you note to the kind of school crush that stays -- not because it was returned, but because it was real.

If you've ever:
Blushed at a nickname,
Held onto a silly gift a little too long,
Or smiled at a memory no one else remembers...
This one's for you.
