Special thanks to my blogger friends, especially Kayleigh, Brooke, Dvora, Amber, Bev, and Colette. Without dedicated book lovers like you, our books would just linger in the void of obscurity, so thank you deeply for all you do.

I would also like to give a big shout out to my Minion Army! There’s far too many of you to list here, but please know that I love and appreciate each and every one of you!

And last but never least; I would like to thank you, dear reader. You have trusted me to take you on a journey and I sincerely hope you have enjoyed the ride. Without YOU, none of the rest matters.

***A quick note about the dedication***

I debated for a long time about this but I thought it was funny, so I kept it. But at the end of the day, there’s nothing funny about bullying. Yes, it happens to all of us at some point, but that doesn’t make it okay. If you are struggling, I can only say that you are not alone. There are people who love you and who want to help you and I sincerely hope you will seek them out.

And should you find yourself on the opposite side of that coin, you are not alone either. We have all, at some point, been cruel to someone whether on purpose or without thinking, but what matters—what makes you the person you will become—is what you do to make it right.

We are all flawed. If we can see beauty in those flaws and offer kindness instead of criticism, the world will be a much better place. And that begins with you.

Love,

Sherry
