May your eternal garden be filled with cozy reading nooks and brilliant stories. You are missed. Acknowledgments To my husband, the innovator of bad guys, and brilliant story-teller in his own right. My books would be impossible without his love, patience, and advice. Even if I never take it. I love you more than you will ever, ever know! Wendy, I shall never be able to convey how much I love you. Fate certainly brought you into my life, and I can honestly say, you take my breath away. (See what I did there?) In all seriousness, my books would never be as amazing without all of your guidance, support, honesty, and help. You are more important to me than you can even imagine! Ali, you are just, well, there aren’t enough words. I am so blessed to not only call you friend, but to have you be a part of my writing process. I know that I can always count on you for honesty, support, and angry messages. Your enthusiasm for Izzy keeps me motivated!
