T O MY HUSBAND AND CHILDREN. You sacrifice so much for me to continue to live out my dream. Days and nights of me being absent even when I’m here. I’m working on it. I promise. I love you more than my own life.

My beta readers, Michelle, Jenn, Holly, Katie, Melissa, and Sunny, I love you guys. Thank you for reading the dozens of drafts and changes I send you. I can’t tell you what your love and encouragement mean to me. You’re the reason that I keep going—I swear.

My readers. There’s no way I can thank you enough. It still blows me away that you read my words. You guys have become a part of my heart and soul.

Bloggers: I don’t think you guys understand what you do for the book world. It’s not a job you get paid for. It’s something you love and you do because of that. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you to Lisa my editor for your support and guidance through my projects. Sarah Hansen, from Okay Creations, for making my covers perfect. Ashley Williams for proofreading so many times until you probably see spots! Christine, from Perfectly Publishable, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all the work you put into making these books beautiful. Your support is invaluable. I truly love your beautiful heart.

My agent, Amy Tannenbaum . . . thank you for your guidance and support through this book. You have no idea how much I appreciate it. Thank you for never getting frustrated with my unending questions.

Squad, BBFT, FYW, & Holiday Reads Girls—Thank you for your friendship, love, and the way you push me to step outside of the box. I love you guys!

Christy Peckham, my right hand, my friend, my tormentor- Ha! No, you keep me on track and never waver. I’m so blessed to have you in my corner.

Melissa Erickson, you’re amazing. I love your face.

Kristi, your friendship means everything to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything. I could not have made it through this last year without you. Literally.

Vi, Claire, Mandi, Amy, Syreeta, Kristy, Kyla, Mia, Tijan, Alessandra, Meghan, Jessica, Michelle, Laurelin, Kennedy, and Lauren—Thank you for keeping me striving to be better and listening to my crazy.
