Acknowledgements
I have many people to thank who have helped me one way or another throughout the duration of writing this book, so in no particular order I want to say a heartfelt, enormous thank you and give a virtual hug to the wonderful Claire Bord at Bookouture for her unwavering faith, belief and support of me as a writer from the very beginning. Without your encouragement and advice, plus all your helpful comments, this book, and in fact all of my books, would not have been written. You have been such a solid support for me and have spurred me on in my darkest moments. I really cannot thank you enough and feel privileged to work with you. Also, thanks to Oliver Rhodes at Bookoture and the super, effervescent and warm Kim Nash for all your continued support and hard work on my behalf, it’s always so much fun seeing you and working with you. Thanks also to my lovely agent, Madeline Milburn, and also to Hayley Steed for all your continued support, advice and much appreciated help.
My friends and family never quite know just how much inspiration and support they give me when I’m writing – and when I’m not, which isn’t often. Mum, thank you for always being there for me, helping with the boys, inspiring me daily throughout my life, and being such a fun, positive, encouraging, loving mummy who always smiles and looks super glam in the face of adversity – put your lipstick on and smile! You are my inspiration in every aspect of my life and I love you so much. Similarly, my sister, Lisa, an incredible, kind, loving and understanding woman who I look up to and adore, thanks for being such a great sister and best friend (and fashion finder!). And to my friends, namely Kelly for all the late-night chats, for a holiday to remember, for her friendship, words of wisdom, kindness, understanding and laughs, plus my lovely LM for being such a true, real friend who is and always will be close to my heart – I love you lots! Andie (always) and my dearest Rabbit, Susie. Also my Scouse bird, Michelle, a truly altruistic, inspirational woman and to Qefs too, my surrogate sister. Some friends are like stars, just because you can’t always see them doesn’t meant they aren’t there. Also to my best girl, Sue, for the kindness, literal belly laughs (and other noises), crazy days (and nights) out and for all the fun and sing-alongs. You’re always a breath of fresh air. Also to my pole princesses: Kelly, Kate, Laura and Julia. Teaching you has brought me so much happiness and it makes me proud to see how much you have all achieved.
My precious boys, Louie and Felix, it’s been a difficult couple of years for us but you remain my driving force, my reason, my hearts outside of my body – love you both more than words, always. You’re both amazing and watching you grow is my biggest privilege and achievement so far. We are family.
Lastly, I want to thank Paul for all his support, help and for the fact that this book wouldn’t have been written without him – or perhaps only by hand! For the belief, encouragement – and proofreading. For the inspiration, for the travels and adventures, for the music, the mayhem, the planes, trains and automobiles, the memories we’ve built and the ones we will go onto build, for all the feels, the salty sweet, the highs and the lows – but always, just always, for the love. I keep my promises. So Sinno, babe, this one is yours.
