It’s time to go.
Acknowledgments
Saying thank you is always fun, so here goes.
The biggest thank you of all is to the three people with whom I share my every day—Abel, Beatrice, and Gabriel—for your love, support, and complete confidence in me each step of the way. None of this would be possible without the three of you.
Thank you to my mum and dad for filling my world with books from the very start and to Fay for being the best big sister imaginable—how lucky I am to have had you in my life from day one.
Thank you to my brilliant friends on both sides of the Atlantic for reading the earliest versions of Kitty’s story and providing love, laughter, encouragement, and a shoulder along the way. I am so grateful to know you’ll always be in my corner. Special thanks to my youngest supporter, Arianna, for reading the manuscript over ten times and pronouncing it her second favorite book ever!
My profound gratitude goes to agent extraordinaire Elizabeth Bewley at Sterling Lord Literistic for rescuing Kitty from a mountain of manuscripts and being such a delightful and incredibly capable guide on this wonderful journey.
Thank you to super editor Tara Weikum for loving Kitty’s story, conjuring the words into an actual book, and being a joy to work with at each stage of the process. I am so grateful to the talented and dedicated team at HarperCollins, including Sarah Homer, Emma Meyer, Jessie Gang, Nicole Moreno, and Anna Bernard. And many thanks to Oriol Vidal for creating this gorgeous cover, which Kitty would love so much.
And to all of you reading my book—thank you.
