Project Smile

Final Author's Note

Hello, everyone! Thank you all so much for reading Project Smile! I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

This book, as well as being a personal favorite of my own, was also one of the hardest novels that I have ever written. It was truly an emotional rollercoaster, and I found myself thinking of plot ideas that seemed okay in my head, but I could never actually type because they didn't sound good enough, or because I physically couldn't do it because they were so upsetting to me. Thank you so much for sticking with me, even when the update times were kind of awry because of this.

Your support means everything to me, and I can't even begin to express how grateful I am for all of you who have read this. You guys are amazing!

I also want to give a special thanks to the ones who kept me writing, even when I didn't think I could. Your comments made me smile and laugh so hard, and I really appreciate them. So to insanity_is_my_drug, OhMyEmmah, NewtLives, s_huddar, ScribblingStranger, FarFromNormal0, Onyx_Rain, and darthbite, thank you so much!

Also, thank you to Ccrisp7 and darthbite for allowing me to use you guys as inspiration for my characters!

Finally, I want to thank every single person who clicked on this book and decided to give it a chance. Whether or not you've made it to this page, loved it or hated it, thank you so much. It really means the world to me!

This book is in memory of the ones who lost the battle too soon,
And it is dedicated to the ones who wake up and fight every day
As well as the ones who have won
Even if it means putting on their armor again every once in a while.

I'm so proud of you guys.

Stay strong.

From Cassidy, from Gabriel, from Pete and Erin and Zach, thank you so much for reading this story.
