ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

 

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

 

THANK YOU SO MUCH! For everyone who has patiently (and not so patiently) waited for Lee’s book. For everyone who came with me from romcom to suspense, for everyone who loved Claire and Wes so much that you had to know what happened with Lee. I couldn’t have done this without you.

 

THANK YOU ALYSSA! For everything. For the pretty covers, for laughing it off when I send you pretty pictures and ask you to make it creepy, for fielding crazy phone calls where I’m like, I have this idea, for everything. From the first to the last, it’s you and me, kid, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

 

THANK YOU TRICIA! Without you I would be lost. I’m so thankful you walked into my life and sorted me out. You get me, you fix what I break, and you do it with a smile. You’re the best!

 

THANK YOU KAYLA! “Where you goin’ lookin’ like a slut?” Without you this entire book would probably be illegible. Your sidebar comments keep me laughing. I promise to try and stop rinsing chicken. No guarantees though.

 

THANK YOU ALYSSA, STACY, EMMA, AND ANDREA! For kicking my ass when I wanted to quit. This was a hard book to write and I struggled. Thank you for keeping me focused and reminding me what’s important.

 

AND ALWAYS LAST BUT NEVER LEAST…

THANK YOU SEAN! We spent a lot of the time I was writing this book apart. Let’s not do that again. I missed you a lot. You’re my person, my bestie, my baby daddy. You’re the one who keeps me ground while helping me fly. Without you I am nothing, with you I am everything. IT WAS ONLY EVER YOU.
