Acknowledgments
Wow. Here we are again! When I wrote the acknowledgments for Pippa Park Raises Her Game, I was undeniably excited but also worried that I wouldn’t have room to give a personal thank you to each and every person who helped mold the book into its final shape. So please know that, like its predecessor, Pippa Park Crush at First Sight would not exist without the immense support system that helped bring it to life. From editing to marketing to emotional support, there are dozens of people who made this book possible, and I am so grateful to each one of you.
Tracey, Eloise, and Susan: Thank you, thank you, and one more thank you for the tremendous amount of work you devoted to this book! I value all your suggestions, edits, and advice immensely, and was often humbled by your insights. Thank you for pushing me to be a better writer. On the flip side—an equally big shout-out to Stacey, Nicole, Sam, and Dienesa for all the support and enthusiasm you have given to Pippa Park. Thank you for going above and beyond in your efforts to connect Pippa Park with readers. I am also grateful to Jaime, Ellen, Bev, Debra, and everyone else who helped transform Crush at First Sight from a draft into a real-life novel! You are all magical.
To my family: I love you infinitely. Thank you for your endless encouragement and for always supporting my writing. Mom, you inspire me with your strength and your work ethic. Dad, you inspire me with your compassion and warmth. Thank you both for not only buying dozens of copies of my book but also convincing random strangers to take a chance on it as well. Natalie, Daniel: Thank you for being the best siblings ever. These past few years have been hard for everyone, and I’m so grateful to have a solid support system backing me up. Speaking of which: a giant shout-out to my friends. Thank you for being patient when I would text the group chat with random writing questions at weird hours of the night, and for cheering me up and giving me momentum when I felt uninspired. And Alex, I can’t emphasize enough how important you are to both me and my writing. I’m so lucky to have a partner who is endlessly supportive, kind, and encouraging, and who keeps three different copies of my debut novel on his desk. I love you.
And finally—heaps of gratitude to my readers. Thank you for taking a chance on this book, a chance on Pippa Park, and a chance on me. Truly, it means the world to me.
