The Prologue (19 page)

My apologies for that!

You can find the rest of Evie and Zeke’s story now, available on all online retailers. Happy reading and stay tuned for Jenny and Koby’s story,
Staring at the Stars
and Dominic’s,
Shatterproof,
available in late 2015.

For sneak peaks, blurbs and teasers, check out my Facebook, Twitter, and Goodreads. I hope you’ll consider my other titles, all of which can be found on all retailers as well. While they also have sequels, I promise you’re not in for a cliffhanger of this magnitude!

Happy reading, and I would love to hear from you, even if it’s just to yell at me about the ending. I hope you’ll find the ‘end’ justifies the rest of the story. I can’t tell you how pleased I am that you’re joining Evie, Zeke and me on this adventure, and I hope you’ll stay tuned until the end. I promise it will be worth the wait.

And as always, the thanks:

To Jackie, Julie, and Brittney, the first reads, the first to freak out about the ending. Thank you for your support and egging me on to get to work writing the rest of this.

To Ally and Mom, for your endless help with editing and encouragement.

To all the musicians who I am SO sorry to say I somehow missed in Guardian. Thank you for the amazing music that provides me both with inspiration and a perfect soundtrack to my writing. It would be impossible without you to listen to. To name just a few that I couldn’t stop playing during writing this book: Anthem Lights, Rihanna, The Civil Wars, Maroon 5, Mumford & Sons, Ellie Goulding, and Imagine Dragons to name just a few.

Also, a shout out once again to my Columbus and especially my Grandview/Dublin readers and peers. Please forgive any of the stretching of our home town’s social structure and especially Grandview Heights High School. Since I didn’t actually attend high school there, I tried to keep it light, but just know this story is entirely fictitious and meant as an homage, not any kind of criticism. I love Grandview and when I move back, you’ll probably see me at the café’s there at least every day, typing away. I already have my apartment picked out and I hope that you’ll smile when you pass by your landmarks from now on, and think of Evie and Zeke, and even Rafael and Lyla too.

Many, many, many thanks.
