Maid for Each Other(86)



Ooh—also Larissa Cambusano, Haley Pham, and Elyse Myers! Your book content gives me such joy, and it’s amazing to see how many readers are inspired by your wildly entertaining content. I am your biggest fangirl.

As always, thank you to my amazing family for being amazing.

Mom, thank you for EVERYTHING. The happy childhood filled with books, the ability to laugh at myself, the obsession with rom-coms—all this began with you and I love you more than words can express.

Dad, I miss you every day.

And what can I say about my offspring? Cass, Ty, Matt, Joey, Kate—I adore you and think you’re my favorite band of humans. Terrance, Jordyn, and Emily—I continue to be amazed at how much Kirkle nonsense you’re willing to put up with. Thank you for going along with hypercompetitive Wiffle Ball games and a long list of absurd traditions; we appreciate your tolerance and begrudging acceptance.

And finally—KEVIN. I feel like it’s getting nauseating, the way I gush about you in the backs of books, but I cannot help myself. I think you’re cool, okay? I think you’re cool and I love you more than I love popcorn on a weeknight. And how is it that life with you keeps getting MORE fun? I’m positive I should be getting sick of you by now, but you make me cackle every day and I might even like you more now than I did the day we played Nintendo at work while the front desk (unbeknownst to you) held your calls so I could take advantage of the time and make you see how cool I was. Obviously my scheming worked because you’re still here…#mastermind
