BY u/verified-idiot
To the only girl i've ever loved, to soufia.
BLUE new in FA 2020

YELLOW text of FA 2019 was edited; the note box next to the yellow highlight will show
the difference between them the old text and the new text of FA 2020

Some pages might look scary! because of note boxes and highlighting , but it is not, my
recommendation for you is to study your book and after than look for the new stuff and
edits.. I DONT recommend comparing while you are studying since it will consume your
time.
