Thanks to my mother, Mavis Casey, for inspiring the character of Penny. Those childhood memories of sitting in the kitchen with you, eating toast and listening to Terry Wogan, before school, will stay with me for ever.

All my love and thanks to my father, Luke Casey, whose voice I hear in my head every time I sit down at my desk to write. You are, and always will be, the person who inspires me most.

A huge thank you to my lovely son, Luke, not only for surviving my attempts to teach you chemistry during lockdown but also for bringing so much love and laughter to my life. You have the biggest heart and you make me proud every day.

Finally, thank you to Jason. My love, always.
