As if the ending wasn’t enough to make me feel every emotion, the Acknowledgments added in a final heart wrench.

And now for you, Alex Reid […] you read every draft of this love story between two women and always understood why I wanted to write it. you cheered me on every step of the way. I have never had to bury or deny any parts of myself in order to make sense to you. What a gift it is, to be loved like that.
