To the wonderful critique partners who helped me in the early stages of writing, especially Rachel and Ellie. Thank you for taking the time to read some pretty rough drafts.
To all the debut classes I’ve been a part of. The great part about my book’s release date being changed was that I got double the debut love. It was wonderful being part of The Roaring Twenties, the 21ders, and the Class of 2K20. I’m looking forward to reading all of your books.
To my amazing writer friends. Thank you, Kirstie, Brittany, Amber, Bianca, and Kaleen for always being there with good laughs, good tea, and good times. I’m so excited for when all of our books will be out in the world. Thank you, Rebecca Ann, for the many, many chats we’ve had. Also, a thank-you to Michelle and Kit.
To my wonderful colleagues at work, who have supported me throughout this process.
And, of course, to my family.
To my parents. You have encouraged my dreams ever since I was little and made me believe that I could do anything. You gave me such a deep love of reading and the written word that I decided I would make it my career two times over. I wouldn’t be where I am now without you. To Sara, for sharing my love of YA and all things libraries. To Rebecca, for being so excited when you heard about my book deal (the first call!). Also, to my friends who are like family, Ella and Nicole and Peyton.
To God, for guiding me onto this path.
And finally, to all of the readers who have picked up this novel. Thank you for sharing in this story with me.
