The Love of My Afterlife(99)

I wouldn’t have been able to write this book without the help of my author friends. Special thanks must go to Cathy Bramley for the actually life-changing Zooming and dancing with me the whole way through the first draft. Big thank-you to Caroline Hogg, Cressida Mclaughlin, and Cesca Major for the cheerleading, draft notes, support, and giggles. Thanks also to the wonderful Isabelle Broom, Keris Stainton, Katy Collins, Katie Marsh, Josie Silver, Sophie Cousens, Mhairi McFarlane, Penny Reid, and Lia Louis. You are all gems.

Thank you to the friends and family who inspire and bring joy into my life in so many different ways: Elizabeth Keach and Ophelia Maleki Raee, Will Bex and Grace Bex, Dawn Dacombe, Angie Jordan, Andy Jordan, the Walshes and Greenwoods, Naomi Johnson, Nicky Allpress, Michael Roulston, the BML crew, Oya Alpar, and darling Tupi.

I would not be here without my magical, noisy, unwavering family, who taught me everything I know about love. Thank you Mum, Dad, Net, Nic, Tony, Mary, Will, and C. I love you and am grateful for you every single day.

Edd—the love of my life. You make the ordinary extraordinary.

Finally, thank you to my readers, old and new. I hope this book brings you joy.
