The Summer Girlfriend (Heart Beach, #1)(106)

Thank you to the larger team at Berkley: Ariana Abad, Anika Bates, Elise Tecco, Lila Selle, Lynsey Griswold, Christine Legon, Sammy Rice, Heather Haase, Brittney West, and Emma Tamayo.

Thank you to Julia Jacob for the stunning cover!

Thank you, librarians and booksellers, for all that you do and for inspiring Noelle’s career goals and love for books.

Thank you to my friend Alison Tergis, who read an early draft and provided very insightful and helpful notes, as always.

Thank you to my family and friends for the continued love and support, and thank you specifically for all the random and planned beach trips over the years. Throughout my life, I’ve spent many summer days at the Jersey Shore, walking the boardwalk, eating funnel cake, lying on the beach and listening to music, or reading a book, or simply staring out at the ocean. Who would’ve thought it would all be inspiration for a book series one day?

Thank you so much to the readers who show up for me and my books! Your support means everything to me. I’d also like to give an extra-special shout-out and thank-you to my readers from New Jersey!
