Thank you for reading my story! I've written several small things before, but I consider this to be my first fully fleshed out fictional story (that's a lot of f's) so it was definitely a journey writing and editing it!
I hope you enjoyed A Breath of Fresh Air and thanks again for reading! :)

My real life friends Chloe, Mariah, Caitlin and Matthew who all make cameos as SplishSplash/Starbucks employees! They were the first people to read early parts of this story and their enthusiasm for it along with their words of encouragement really motivated me to pour my all into this project, so thank you all so much! :)
Author Becky Albertalli for creating the incredible Simonverse, which led to Love, Simon and Love, Victor. Her books, the movie and the TV show are all huge inspirations to me! Without those, I probably would have never been inspired to write this story.
My high school English teachers, especially Mrs. Pappas and Mrs. Buis, for helping me to realize how much I love writing!
Felix (grayskyluna) whose art I've been obsessed with for a while (it's INCREDIBLE!!) and whom I reached out to on a limb not expecting a reply! Literally screamed when I got the email back and it was a dream to have them draw Evan and Tyler!

Don't know if I have to say any of this, but here it is anyway lol:
The characters and events in this story are fictitious. None of the characters are based off of real people, except for a few of my friends who I wrote into the story as minor characters with their permission. Any similarities to actual people are purely coincidental.
Any mention of a real brand/place does not imply any kind of association with that brand/place and no infringement is intended.
