The Hardest Fall by Ella Maise

Acknowledgments

There is so much that goes into writing a book and with this one there were a few people I can never thank enough because without their support and help, I don’t think I could’ve finished it.

Erin…You’ve been there for me from the very beginning and I think you will be in every single one of my thank you notes. I’m not sure how you feel about that, but I’m not sorry. You’re my rock. You’re seriously an amazing friend to me and I’m so lucky to have you. You listen to my non-stop ramblings and still help me when I’m stuck. I can’t imagine doing this without you. Thank you for not getting rid of me. Thank you for holding my hand when I’m having a rough time. Are you ready to do it all over again with the new one? I really hope so because I don’t think I’ll ever be able to do this without you.

Beth and Shelly-My Delta Beta Squad. You two…first of all-thank you for being there when no else was around. This book wouldn’t be what it is without you two. It takes a village to write a new book, and you’re the residents of my entire village. You’re also kind of stuck with me to be honest, so there is that. I probably will never find the right words that will convey how grateful I am that you decided that it was a good idea to be my friend, so I’m not gonna try and make a mess of it. I know for sure that I wouldn’t be writing this right now if I didn’t have your help to perfect Dylan and Zoe’s love story. And it’s not only that you were my only beta readers either (though your comments throughout the book gave me life), it’s the daily support you give me, the encouragements, the friendship, the voice messages, the smiles… I’m so lucky to have you two. So unbelievably lucky. Thank you for being there for me when I needed it the most.

A huge thank you to Caitlin Nelson. You make my books readable and somehow even better. I don’t know what I would’ve done if you hadn’t taken me back after my long hiatus. Thank you so much for being the best editor.

Ellie McLove, thank you for squeezing me in at the last minute. You’re amazing.

Nina, thank you for all you’ve done. I hope this is just the beginning for us. I promise not to hoard all the teasers.

And my readers…do you still remember me? I missed you so much. If you don’t know, I went through some health problems which is why I couldn’t release a new novel for almost two years. And while Dylan and Zoe kept me company through that rough time, the one thing that made me sad was that you guys were going to forget all about me. I hope you didn’t. I hope this was good for you. I hope Dylan worth the wait. For me he was. I hope that you have a smile on your face right now.

Bloggers. you are AMAZING. Thank you so much for all the love you have shown for Dylan and Zoe’s cover. I really hope you enjoyed their story and you too have a smile on your face right now. I hope that Dylan and Zoe wasn’t a disappointment. I appreciate everything you’re doing for me and my book.
