Baby LouLou— Thanks for getting your shit together in the second trimester so Mommy could edit this book and stay on deadline. Much improved from your performance while I was writing Mr. Brightside. Good work, kid.

Mel— My confidant and secret keeper! Thank you for reeling me back in when I accidentally make characters too mean or have someone grinding their bare bum on their boyfriend's brother (whoopsies!). I am so grateful for your guidance, friendship, and support.

Beth— Thank you for quelling my Abbyisms and helping me make my books the best they can be! I appreciate and admire so many things about you, but above all I appreciate your friendship.

To my ARC and Promo Team— I’m grateful for your love and enthusiasm. I would not be able to do this job or create these characters without your support. Thank you for embracing Maddie and falling in love with Dempsey. Oh, and thanks for hating Fielding a little less after this book.

About The Author

Abby Millsaps is an author and storyteller who loves to write messy, steamy, emo romance. Her characters are relatable, lovable, and occasionally confused about the distinction between right and wrong. Her books are set in picturesque small towns that feel like home.

Abby started writing romance in 7th grade. Then in 8th grade, she failed to qualify for the Power of the Pen State Championships because “all her submissions contained the same theme: young people falling in love.” #LookAtHerNow

Abby met her husband at a house party the summer before her freshman year of college. He had a secret pizza stashed in the trunk of his car that he was saving for a midnight snack— how was she supposed to resist?
