Acknowledgments
Getting Love Me to Death to this point has been an absolute delight, thanks primarily to the team at Entangled, especially Liz Pelletier, who believed in this book from the start.
Huge hugs to the whole gang in Camp Clarke for cheering me on and getting the word out, especially Shawna, Lucy, Nicole, Mariela, Tabatha, and Allison. Pass the marshmallows!
Love to Patrick McDonald at QueryTracker for always listening and making those website changes with a moment’s notice.
And of course, I would not be able to finish a page without the support from my amazing husband, Laine.
