To my coven of love, Kelsey Rodkey, Annette Christie, Andrea Contos, and our newest addition, Auriane Desombre, your constant cheering, love, and laughs make me thank Santa Plane Jesus every day that you’re in my life. Thank you for being CeCe’s fans from the very beginning and being there for every step of this journey.
To my early readers, Rachel Lynn Solomon, Jenny Howe, Diana Urban, Laurie Dennison, and Alexandra Alessandri, your feedback was so helpful in preparing for submission and I’m extremely thankful for your encouragement and friendship.
Thank you to my Pitch Wars mentor, Dannie Morin, who was the first person to really show me the ropes and teach me craft, I’m so grateful you took a chance on me all those years ago, and huge thanks to The Clubhouse for being there through all the ups and downs.
Thank you to the Novel Nineteens for being a fabulous debut group. Writing can be solitary, but it feels less so when we can lean on and learn from each other.
I couldn’t do any of this without the endless support of my husband and our girls. Thank you for giving me the time to write and for always believing in me. <3
