Nina Grinstead, no one—and I mean, no one, aside from B—believes in me more than you do. You see things I just don’t believe are possible, and you encourage me to reach for them. You show me dreams I never in a million years thought I’d achieve, and you push me to exceed them. Your belief, partnership, friendship are things I’ve written about but never experienced in my life. Until now. Love you doesn’t even come close to cutting it. Team B forever.
Jovana Shirley, I’m beyond blessed and so grateful to have you as part of my publishing dreams. You’re not just someone I trust implicitly with my words; you’re a genius at what you do, and I continue to learn and grow because of you. Like I say at the end of every book, I wouldn’t want to do this with anyone but you. Love you so hard.
Hang Le, my unicorn, you are just incredible in every way.
Judy Zweifel, as always, thank you for being so wonderful to work with and for taking such good care of my words. <3
Chanpreet Singh, thanks for always holding me together and for helping me in every way. Adore you, lady. XO
Kaitie Reister, I love you, girl. Thanks for being you.
Nikki Terrill, my soul sister. Every tear, vent, dinner, virtual hug, life chaos, workout, you’ve been there through it all. I could never do this without you, and I would never want to. Love you hard.
Sarah Symonds, I feel like we’ve been on this journey together for centuries, but, girl, it’s only the beginning. Thank you for holding my hand through this ride. Love you.
Donna Cooksley Sanderson, another one down, my friend. Thank you for your endless support. I can’t wait for the day when I can hug you again. xxx
Ratula Roy, being inside your head, especially with this book, was a true treasure. You always have my back, my heart, and my love. Forever, baby. Love you.
Dawn Fuhrman and Patricia Reichardt, thank you for being such a massive part of this process. I said this last time, and I’ll say it again—no one has ears like you two. Heart you both.
Kimmi Street, my sister from another mister. There’s no way to describe us; there’s just something special when it comes to our unbreakable bond. Nothing and no one will ever change that. I love you more than love.
Extra-special love goes to Valentine PR, Kelley Beckham, Kayti McGee, Chris Fletcher, Tracey Waggaman, Sally Ilan, Elizabeth Kelley, Jennifer Porpora, Pat Mann, and my group of Sarasota girls, whom I love more than anything. I’m so grateful for all of you.
Mom and Dad, thanks for your unwavering belief in me and your constant encouragement. It means more than you’ll ever know.
Brian, my words could never dent the love I feel for you. Trust me when I say, I love you more.
My Midnighters, you are such a supportive, loving, motivating group. Thanks for being such an inspiration, for holding my hand when I need it, and for always begging for more words. I love you all.
To all the bloggers who read, review, share, post, tweet, Instagram—Thank you, thank you, thank you will never be enough. You do so much for our writing community, and we’re so appreciative.
To my readers—I cherish each and every one of you. I’m so grateful for all the love you show my books, for taking the time to reach out to me, and for your passion and enthusiasm. I love, love, love you.
