Ok, first things first, readers.
This is the first book that I've ever properly published (well, hopefully. I mean I've written this note a bit prematurely so if ya'll don't get this then...sorry lol), so please please please please PLEASE take this into consideration when you read it. I know I'm not a perfect person, so please don't expect this to be perfect either (gloria knows I've tried to write it as best I can). The main reason why I started writing this book in the first place was because I was suffering from a severe case of writer's block while writing another book and a dear friend of mine suggested that I pick up on that whole friends-do-a-match-making-kinda-assignment-and-see-where-it-goes kind of storyline to distract myself for a bit. In other words, I really had no intention in publishing this book at all; it was just something I wrote to help me get my love for writing back and to get my creative juices flowing again.
That being said, the reason why I decided to publish it was because what started out to be a distraction turned into something I couldn't just leave behind. I also wanted to see well...how good or bad of an author I am, I guess.
I hope you enjoy this book as much as I loved writing it.
Cheerio, lovelies

To my former love,
you already know I based Alexander on you so haha
To the nicest person on earth and my best friend ever,
honey, you're amazing. Without you, Samara would never really have happened, and I'm so thankful that such a wonderful person is in my life. You are constantly showing me how to improve through your actions, kindness, and love to others. Steph, you're blimmin' beautiful and amazing. God bless your pure heart lol.
And to the brother I never had (even though I have a brother lol),
you inspired Lane to come to life. Thank you for the love and support you give me even though you hate reading books, you heathen. haha, love ya, you egg.
And to my dad,
you inspire me to keep on going just like you've been doing. I can't say thank you enough for being the only parent I ever needed. Through thick and thin, you'd support me no matter what and I can never repay you for all the time, money, love, encouragement, and patience you have given me through out my life. Love you to the end of the freaking universe and back, Daddyo.
And not to that teacher I had in year 3 who thought I didn't know what "you lack cognitive ability" meant. I hope you're hung over an active volcano eternally.
