Nina Grinstead, every time I reach this section, a million thoughts come into my head on what this journey has looked like for us. All the late-night and early-morning talks. The texts. The plans. The dreams. Each book has looked so different, but nothing about us has changed. We’re in this together until the very end—and I’m talking about walkers, not words. Love you doesn’t even come close to cutting it. Team B forever.
Jovana Shirley, whenever I send you my final manuscript, I exhale the biggest sigh of relief. Not because it’s done—although that too—but because it’s in your hands. You have this unbelievable ability to always know what I’m trying to say and this incredible vision and talent that can polish my books into something I’m so proud of. YOU make me shine. Like I say every time, 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, you understand my words more than anyone, and I have a blast, being on this journey with you, my friend. Thank you for always being there, for all your love and support. I wouldn’t want to do this without you. Ever.
Ratula Roy, this was a special one for us, a rainbow behind the clouds, and you helped me capture that beauty. You always have my back, my heart, and my love. Forever, baby. Love you.
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.
