Love Style Life
Page 16
And with love, we’re kids forever, stumbling and learning as life unfolds. And this is why, whatever happens, we must keep our hearts open.
CONCLUSION
One more chapter, where I talk to you about my sex life, was going to go here (with illustrations!!!).
But I thought it might be best to save for the next book.
Big kiss!

I’m just going to freestyle it. I want to say thank you…
To my team: You guys are the most amazing gift, and without you, this book could never have come together. My life would be a disaster.
To Erik Melvin and Brie Welch: Your support and your friendship mean the world to me.
To Emily Note, my closest collaborator, my friend, and also basically my boss: I don’t know how to begin to tell you how you’ve made my life so much better, cooler, more exciting, and more fulfilling. I hope for many more years to come. And I hope I can in turn help you make your life everything you want it to be.

Thank you to Julie Grau, Greg Mollica and the whole team at Spiegel & Grau for choosing me and for making me feel at home.
