First and foremost, I am so grateful to you, dear reader, for choosing my book. You must be extremely intelligent, successful and attractive to have made such a wise choice. ;)
Second, thank you to my editor, Emily Kitchin, for helping shape this book and making really clever and intuitive changes. You are a dream to work with. HarperCollins, please promote her.
Third, my clever doctor friend Karen Chumbley who very kindly told me how to poison children. She doesn’t do this during working hours, if anyone is worried.
Fourth, thank you Flo Worley for the amazing social worker feedback and corrections. I am so grateful for all your time – you have helped make the book so much more accurate, and hopefully no social workers will come after me now for misrepresentation.
Last, but not least, the feedback powerhouse duo that are my bestselling twin sister author, Cath (CS) Quinn, and my husband Demi. Thank you for awesome feedback on all my books/unfiltered rudeness that improves everything I write.
Oh, and I should probably thank my kids for something so I can see their lovely little names in print. Thanks Lexi and Laya for filling my life with joy and love and wonder and going to the school that I based this book on. You rock.
