When she’s finally had enough, will she seek revenge or will she finally
find the happiness she’s always looked for. Will Gotti be her undoing, or
will he be her knight in shining armor? or will he be her knight in shining
armor?
All the Way by Ari Glenn is a unique and captivating book in Wattpad. Ari provides the Wattpad community with a diverse story; literally. Although, there are many various stories available about betrayal, abuse, and love; All the Way will always be recognize by its understandability.
Ryan, the female protagonist, has recently ended her relationship with her abusive boyfriend. Upon leaving their shared apartment; a suggestive remark was made and their we are introduced to Gotti. After numerous events, Ryan and Gotti explore further more into their relationship.
All the Way
There’s no doubt that Ryan is relatable. She is a daughter, friend, mother, wife, boss, and part time nurse. Her growing relationships with Gotti, Gabe, and MJ is a perfect example of how a woman should be. One lesson that she taught me was to always fight for what one believes. She’s always had faith and sees the best a person can be.
Gotti is a hardheaded, hardworking person. In the book, there were times where the couple had issues and I applaud Gotti on how he handles these situations. However, there are times that you just really want to bang his head on a wall. Seriously. As we countinue reading it is very clear that Gotti loves spoiling his beloved, Ryan. And we all it wish it was us.
In the end of the day, we learn to love this book and the characters in it. There’s a million reasons why I suggest you should read this book but nothing will top the fact that it is simply very intriguing. Spread the word and give Ari some love.
This is a mature book. So please be aware of who you are recommending this to. Personally, this was the type of book where I would read after a long, exhausting day. Once your done, you just want more and I have read this book over and over about five times now. I never want to stop. I never will stop.
This book is available on Wattpad for free. Leave some love in the form of comments and votes for Ari.
I had the chance the talk to Ari via email. She’s given me a little surprise for you guys. A new book is coming out called Saints and Sinners. The first chapter is available in my blog.
While emailing, I did give her some few basic questions that I hope you will find interesting. If any of you have further questions; leave a comment!
What made you publish ATW?
I was taking a mini break from writing Beyond Us. I had this idea about a few
characters, but it was totally different from BU. I was tired of reading
about the same kind of situations happening in WattPad books, and wanted to
be a little different.
What was your inspiration?
The inspiration came after I listened to music. I’m almost always listening to something while I write or before I write to set the mood a little. K Michelle’s Cry came on, and I was just like wow. I had been in a few situations that were similar, and it just seemed like the pages started writing themselves.
Do you see yourself in Ryan? If so, how?
I do see myself in Ryan. We’re both beyond caring, petty, and pretty funny. I gave her the best parts of my personality and dramatized the rest, as I do for most of my female MCs.
What happened to the dogs; Baby G and Panda?
Baby Gee is still kicking. He’s at the trap right now, but Panda died :(. Maybe we’ll find out how later in book 2 lol.
Who are the stars that play the characters and where can we find them?
- Ryan IG: itzjustchris
- Gotti IG: DaveEast
- Dame IG: Amir0be
- Dacia IG: sheriivxi
- Christina IG: nadiraali
- Jace IG: rah__jah
- Pee IG: BrysonTiller
Do you plan on making a separate story for Jace and Chris?
As of this moment, no. ATW is already a spin off of Beyond Us. It’s weird for me to have a spin off of a spin off lol. I love them though, plus later in book 2 we’ll see Chris with more POVs.
What would be your advice to new writers in Wattpad?
My advice to new writers is to not give up. Beyond Us was my first book, and the reads were very underwhelming for awhile. I maybe had 30k reads by the time I had started All The Way. I didn’t update that frequently because of that, but I found with All The Way the more I updated the more readership increased. I really believe WattPad uses a formula for exposure, the more you update the more the promote your book. All you need is one good reader and the rest will come.
Also practice your writing is a biggie. The writing differences with Beyond Us and All The Way are definitely clear. Beyond Us was my first book and we can call it a practice run even though I really love that book lol, but the more you write the more your talent becomes refined.
What can you tell us about the sequel?
None of you are ready for what’s to come. Book one was more romance and action on Gotti’s part, but book two is all about the female empowerment, and how we’re going to boss up! Prepare yourselves. Nothing has happened in comparison to what’s coming.
What’s different about the Smith family in the first and second book?
The Smith family in book one was more so captained by Gotti. He drove the ship, and had Ry having his back. Not this time, Ryan will still have his back, but when it’s against the wall she will show and prove for her family.
Who is your favorite character?
Definitely Ryan. She’s apart of who I am, and who I want to be.
Do you plan on publishing? If so, self-publishing or with a company?
I plan on self publishing, but hopefully we see me on the silver screen sometime soon. I always had a vision of ATW as a TV show or movie. I submitted a treatment into Issa Rae’s contest for an up and coming Young Adult TV drama. Crosses fingers let’s hope ATW wins!!!
Besides writing, are there other dreams you wish to accomplish?
So many, I used to want to be in the marketing world, but after having a few jobs I realized that’s not what I wanted. Besides hoping the TV series works out, I’d like to go back to school to get a degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine so I can be can practice herbal medicine. I’d like to give back to my community without filling them with drugs and harsh chemicals. I’d go on a rant, but this is an interview about ATW lol.
Ari has given you the chance to read the first chapter of her new book right now! Introducing the upcoming Saints and Sinners, hope you enjoy.
