For Lila Dubois

Thanks for putting up with me, for talking me off the ledge of author anxiety daily, for fighting Facebook on my behalf when they repeatedly and erroneously shut down my ad account, for being unafraid of looking stupid with me as we attempt to Tiktok, for always jumping right in and doing things when I would sit and think about them for a year first, and most importantly for over a decade of friendship.

You’re my book bestie and my work wife. You can not escape, but I promise to always provide an ample supply of snacks!

PS. I intended to dedicate the last book to you but I effed it up so you get this one instead :)
