This is the third time in a year that I’ve had to write acknowledgments for a novel. While my comments may feel repetitive, my gratitude is just as heartfelt.
Thank you to my amazing agent, Beth Miller, for your continued guidance and advocacy. I’m so glad I have you on my side!
My brilliant editor and publisher, Liz Pelletier, has helped me shape this story with her astute insight. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your continued belief in this series. Thank you to Madison Pelletier for being one of my earliest readers, and thank you to the entire team at Entangled—and in particular, Melissa Montovani, Stacy Abrams, and Heather Riccio—for turning this story into a book.
L.J. Anderson, the cover is just breathtaking. Thank you. My gratitude goes to Rebecca Mancini for placing the Forget Tomorrow trilogy with my foreign publishers. Thank you to Lucy Stille, my film agent.
Thank you to Editions Lumen, in France; Record, in Brazil; and Pegasus Yayinlari, in Turkey, for bringing the Forget Tomorrow trilogy to your respective countries.
I would like to thank RWA for awarding Forget Tomorrow with a RITA® for Best First Book, an honor beyond my wildest dreams.
I am indebted to Danielle Meitiv for her genius brainstorming of this book and to Meg Kassel and Kimberly MacCarron for their insightful comments. Thank you, as well, to Brenda Drake, Vanessa Barneveld, Denny Bryce, and Stephanie Winklehake for your friendship and constant support. Special thanks to all of my writing groups—and a shout-out to Katie Robinson for her stunning photographs.
Thank you to my family, the Hompluems, the Dunns, and the Techavacharas. I could write pages about what you mean to me—but suffice it to say, I love and appreciate all of you so much. I have the best family in the world. I believe that with every ounce of my being.
To Antoine and my three beautiful children: you are ALL my favorite. I feel blessed every day to be a part of your lives.
And finally, thank you to my wonderful readers. I hope you enjoy Jessa’s story just as much as Callie’s!
