Well, it's published by ELLO, it has a 15.75 level of literacy, contains 342 words and the genre is Love and Relationship. The title is: " The Break Up ".     Well, let me share the story with you briefly. So it's a story of Crystal. She feels like she cannot see the future of her relationship with her boyfriend, Joe.

And also, it's written by ELLO. Before we continue to our bookmark showcase, I would like to briefly tell you about the storyline. So it's Daniel and Valeria's story. They talk about how football is such an important part of their culture. Quite interesting, right? Well, here is the bookmark that I've made of it. So, this is a quote that was said by Valeria to Daniel, when he asked about why can you only support 1 team. I chose this because it has a deep meaning behind it.

On the other hand, it also sparks a co...
