Thank you to my neighbour Robert, who gave me the benefit of his immensely detailed legal knowledge to help me through some of the novel’s plot points. You’re also a lovely neighbour, lucky us.
Thank you Max Van Cleek for helping me figure out smart homes and for taking my ludicrous questions about whether I could kill someone with a remote control seriously.
Josh Berger, you’re a true pal. Thanks for your counsel.
Pandora Sykes, thank you for being the first person to read a proof of the novel and provide a quote, it was immensely kind of you.
Janine Gibson, you read my first few chapters and laughed. Making you laugh was the encouragement I needed to carry on.
Archie, Maya, Miranda, Nesrine, Ben, Benji, you’re the best people. I love you all.
Lizzie, my dearest sister. Thank you for reading the book. Thank you for your notes, which helped me more than I can say. You are my en.
Linds and Alan, thanks for literally everything. You inspired this book (in all the best ways)。
Finally, Greg. All the men in my book are complete bastards and you are the total opposite. You told me I was a writer long before I ever called myself one. I am so very lucky to have you by my side.
