Family is the most precious gift one can have, and I am very blessed to be surrounded by unconditional love and support. I am the luckiest girl in the world.
To my mom, who taught me how beautiful a strong, independent woman can be, and also that a mother’s love can truly make a girl fly. You always find a way to make me smile, whether it’s texting me a pic of a hot half-naked mullet man on a book cover or talking smack about the people that passed on me. You’ve been my champion.
To my grandma, who reminds me a great deal of Artemis—in a slightly less deadly, reads lots of books kind of way. You may be tiny, but you’re a force to be reckoned with. Thank you for teaching me to be brave. Even if I never developed the spine to read true crime and ended up a romance novelist instead.
To my aunts, I have the coolest, most awe-worthy collection of them. I love you.
You too, Dad. I love ya.
