Acknowledgements
This book would not have been possible without the help of so many people. You all deserve a full book of gratitude, but this will have to suffice.
To my husband, Michael, for being my first reader and my first book order. Who put up with my long nights and book talk long before there was a book to talk about. For buying me ice cream to celebrate when I got The Email. For believing in me no matter what. For helping me with every step of this amazing process—I can never say thank you enough.
To Mom, Dad, Kaitie, Kortnee, Kyleigh, Granny, Papa, Nan, Pop, Ashley, Uncle Tommy, Alexis, Mackenzie, Zach, and many other aunts and uncles who are too numerous to name—I thank you for every piece of advice you’ve given over the years. For reading the first stories I wrote and encouraging me to continue. For believing in my dreams long before I did and for teaching me that nothing is impossible. Also, for putting up with me during my annoying teenage years when, let’s face it, I sucked.
To the amazing team at Limitless Publishing, for being my first ‘yes.’ To my insanely talented editor, Darryl Cook, for whipping this book into shape. To Lori Whitwam, Jennifer O’Neill, Jessica Gunhammer, Elise Balt, and everyone else who made this book happen—thank you.
To my Abbott Martin family: Jaren—for inspiring this book and encouraging me to finally write it down. Seth, my walking encyclopedia, thanks for making sure this book didn’t defy too much logic. LeAnn, Britney, Ryan, Barbara, Aranka, Perry, April, Gwen, and Roy—for putting up with the weird girl in the breakroom scribbling incessantly into her notebook. Thank you for letting me bounce ideas off of you daily and answering every question I had, no matter how strange.
To Nicole, whose hospitality is too immense to explain, thank you for allowing this crazy girl to take over your home and create a book trailer which has changed the path of this book completely. To Mike, Stephanie, Missy, Rachel, Jason, Julian, and Dave—for bringing my characters to life in a way I’d only dreamed of seeing them.
To Ms. Ham, Ms. Watson, Ms. LeClere, Mrs. Micah, and Mr. Prather, amazing and selfless teachers, who praised my work long before it was good and who encouraged me immensely as I grew. For seeing the writer in me way back when and for pushing me to believe I could do it. I did it!
And to you, if you bought this book and enjoyed my story. Thank you for helping to make my dream come true. I wished for this.
