Thank you so much for allowing me to consider BELLA BOO - A BOYFRIEND, A BEACH, AND A BULLY. I am honored to have had the chance to consider your work! Unfortunately, BELLA BOO - A BOYFRIEND, A BEACH, AND A BULLY is not the right fit for me at this time, so I will have to pass. I hope another agent will feel differently!

Thank you for considering me and best of luck with your future queries.

Sincerely,

Aashna Avachat

Seems to have been rejected after some consideration, so I'll take that as a positive.
