by Aly Martinez
To Ashley B: Thank you for making me an amazeballs cover! And for put up with my fifty phone calls asking you to change things. Most of all, thank you for being my friend through thick and thin.
To Biz: What should I say? You have had my back since middle school. It is no surprise you encouraged me to write as well. As long as you swear to never release our high school notes (sp), you will forever be one of my best friends.
To Crystal and Juanita: The ORIGINAL Regina and Anastasia! Thank you for providing me with a million hilarious stories to write about.
To Stacey: The best sprinting partner to ever exist. Thank you for answering all of my drunken questions. Hopefully you will one day be able to use your superhero ability to translate “drunk Aly” to make some money. Your inspirational pictures were always the best! I can’t wait for book two! Gooooooooo!!!
To Tessa: You inspired me in the middle of a Walmart parking lot. You know what? Walmart sells wine! Ennis, I understand it now! Thank you for taking me under your wing and helping me every step of the way.
To Danielle: I was so nervous to tell you I was writing a book, but you became one of my true champions. Thank you for always being just a text message away. I miss you every day!
To Ash and Fall: Yes, I know I already “thanked” y’all, but my White Zin Bookends partners deserve to be thanked again. Thank you for picking up my slack while I was hiding in the writing cave. Thank you for the endless hours of texts, debating the finer points of Brett and Jesse’s relationship. And most of all, thank you for encouraging me to take this giant step. Without you ladies, I never would have had the courage to actually do this.
To every member of The Hen House: Thank you for always supporting me even though I live over a thousand miles away now. We can always have long distance wine nights!
To all of my IRAC ladies: Look, a squirrel! I never would have finished this book without y’all urging me to drink more wine, look at hot guys, and pretend to sprint, when in actuality we just giggle and chat. Best writing group ever!
To Adriana: Thank you for doing a final edit when I was about to lose my mind. You really saved me from a nervous breakdown. Who knew writing a book would be so stressful?
To EM Tippetts: Thank you for not killing me, and for not making me feel like a crazy lady when I sent you emails in the middle of the night with subjects like, “STOP FORMATTING!!” You really renewed my faith in the indie author community.
To Love Between the Sheets: Thank you for being the best promotional service a new author could hope for. I can’t express how much owe you ladies for organizing my cover reveal, blitz, and tour. Most of all, I owe you for answering every one of my random emails.
To all the bloggers: Your endless support and positive words mean the world to me. Thank you for taking a chance on a new author.
