Kristina. You are the funniest beta reader, ever. Your endless conversations with the characters, the running commentary of snarky comments directed at both them and me, and the random facts that weren’t even related to the story, are worthy of publication in their own right. I loved your weekly instalments and the creative excuses for why it was 49 and not 50 pages long. Thank you for keeping my cheese under control, for keeping me laughing and for loving both Jared AND Luke…I know it’s a struggle.
For my music guru. Thank you for all of your fabulous song recommendations, but more importantly, thank you for the friendship. You are a total stubborn arse, but you make me laugh, repeatedly.
To Lisa and Cathy. You’ve been with me from the start and you have both always encouraged me to keep writing. Thank you for helping me out the second time around, for your feedback and support, but most importantly, for your friendship.
Jackie, my BFF. Thank you for always believing in me, supporting me, being there for me, cooking for me, sometimes ordering take away for me, having chocolate for me, trying to pour wine for me, watching Supernatural and Vampire Diaries with me and everything else you do. But most of all, thank you for being such an amazing friend. You are a star and I love you.
And lastly, but never least, Andrei. Thank you, for everything. I know it’s still not that book I promised, but one day we’ll get there. You make me laugh every single day and I love all of your crazy plot ideas, even if it means everything ends up as a sci fi story. You’ve always supported me in everything I do, and for that, I am eternally grateful. I’m sorry for all of the hours spent on my laptop, I promise it’s not all facebooking. I love you.
