Thank you to my amazing family who have put up with me talking about writing and who have now learned to simply listen and nod where appropriate. Thanks also to the friends who have read various drafts of this book and who encouraged me to keep going. Huge thanks as well to my wonderful editor who helped me polish the manuscript to within an inch of its life and thanks also to my designer, who designed the most fabulously pink cover I’ve ever seen! Thanks to the lovely Tasting Panel members – Angela, Anna Maria, Berni, Emma, Julie, Liz, Olivia and Sarah. And the biggest thank you of all has to go to the Choc Lit team, who quietly and efficiently took this story from a manuscript to a novel and made it a dream come true. Thank you to everybody who helped me get this far – it means a lot.
