Acknowledgments

I’d like to start by thanking you, dear reader. Arguably, my friends and family have to chime in every once in a while and say “attagirl,” if for no other reason than their own peace of mind. The talented people at Entangled are kinda duty bound to help create the best books possible. (They go above and beyond the call of duty, but more on that later). Readers, however, don’t have to choose my books. You’re not obligated to tell me or anyone else if you enjoy them. I am thrilled and humbled when readers do. I’m extra thrilled to have gotten to know some of you through social media and book signings. You ladies inspire me (occasionally with pictures of hot, half-naked men, and words cannot express how very deeply I appreciate it), you make me laugh, and sometimes you even make me cry—but in a good way! So thank you, readers. Feel free to request this appreciation in the form of a free drink the next time you see me.

Additional thanks and free drinks to:

My editor, Heather Howland, for always seeing past what’s on the page, to what should be on the page, and gently prodding me to get it there.

Liz, Melanie, Curtis, Kaitlyn and the rest of the Entangled team, for being the sh*t.

Robin and Hayson, for being the best writing buddies (aka drinking buddies) a girl could have.

My family and friends, for all the attagirls. xoxo
