Dear Readers,

I never thought in a million years that Cryin' Out Loud, my first-ever fanfic, would grow into something so extraordinary. To say that this journey has been surreal is an understatement. 250K reads in only two months. That number still doesn't feel real to me. When I started writing, it was just for fun, just to see where the story could go. But because of you, it became so much more.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for sticking with me through every twist and turn, for loving Suki and Drew as much as I did, for sending me messages that made me cry (happy tears, I promise!), and for celebrating this story in ways I never dreamed possible. Thank you for the memes, the playlists, the edits, the inside jokes—I'll carry them with me forever.

I've made real friends through this book, people who've become part of my life in such a meaningful way, and I never imagined that could happen. Your love and support have meant everything to me. You've inspired me to write without fear, to create worlds and characters that feel as alive to you as they do to me.

Saying goodbye to Cryin' Out Loud is bittersweet, but it feels right. Suki and Drew's story has been told, and I couldn't have imagined a more perfect ending for them. From meeting at Coachella to walking the Oscars carpet, from their heartbreak to their healing, these two halves of the same soul have found their way home. And in many ways, writing them has helped me find a home in storytelling, too. 

Suki deserved her happy ending. From the pain and struggles of her past to her journey of finding love, healing, and self-worth, she's earned every bit of joy that came her way. And Drew? Well, let's just say he was always her other half, and seeing them find their way back to each other felt like everything coming full circle.

While I'm saying goodbye to Cryin' Out Loud, I'm saying hello to a new beginning—my first-ever completely original book, Liaisons. This project is something I never would have had the courage to start without your unwavering support for this story. It's fresh and exciting, and while it's entirely its own thing, I'll admit something: I think of my main character as Drew sometimes, and if you do too, well, who am I to stop you?

To everyone who's already added Liaisons to their reading list—thank you. Your support means the world to me, and while I'm nervous about finally sharing my first-ever original book, I'm also incredibly excited. I truly believe it's my best writing yet, and I hope you'll love it as much as I do.

Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for letting me share this piece of my heart with you. And thank you for reminding me why I fell in love with writing in the first place.

This isn't a goodbye—it's a see you soon. The best is yet to come.

All my love,

Luna
