In the acknowledgments for The Last Place You Look, I said, “I have a running joke that, when you read one of my books, you’re getting a glimpse into what was going on in my life the year before.” It makes me feel like I should lead with a disclaimer: No affairs with exes went into the making of this book. I do have a couple of great exes, though, and I owe a lot of who I am to the relationships we had and continue to have.
So much love, respect, and gratitude to everyone at Bold Strokes Books. You’ve helped me grow as a writer and as a person and I love that you care about both the art and business of books. Ash, you remain at the top of the list. Thank you for indulging me but also not hesitating to call me out.
Finally, thank you to everyone who has given me the gift of buying and reading my books, and for the kind words and encouragement along the way. You’ve given me more joy than you know.
