My inspiration for my altered book will come from the song Always by Rex Orange County. This song is about him admitting that he has changed and that someone was there to help him. “It took a while to see that I was in need of help from somebody else. But she keeps reminding me that I’m not the only one” 

 

At the back of the book I want to cut out the center like as shown in the first image. I want to base my book around 2 friends finding each other then losing each other. I want to incorporate yellow roses since it is a sign of friendship.
