Curvy Girls Can’t Date Soldiers by Kelsie Stelting
Acknowledgments
I have so many people to be thankful for! Of course, I want to thank my husband for being a partner in my home and constantly working with me in this balancing act of marriage, parenthood, business ownership, and life!
My children are huge supporters for me. They will always be my biggest priority and greatest blessing. Our nanny, Michelle, has been the best blessing over the last six months. Knowing my children are cared for and loved while I work toward my dream is the best feeling ever.
Thank you to my dear friend Sally Henson. In addition to being an incredible novelist, she’s become the best sounding board and friend a girl could ask for!
Speaking of friends, thank you Annie for welcoming me to my new home state and sharing a vacation with me! I finished a draft of this story alongside the pool on vacation with her and visiting the beach with ice cream dripping down our arms was the perfect way to celebrate!
Thank you to my family, who never fails to tell a friend (or stranger) about my stories. I love you all dearly!
To my sweet Cupcakes in the readers club, you are so cherished! I love hanging out with you during our ice cream chats and seeing you all share such uplifting, body positive messages. The Curvy Girl Club has brought together so many incredible women, and I’ll never be thankful enough for that.
Special thanks to Tricia Harden, who’s edited more than fifteen novels for me! Working with you is such a joy, every single time. You are such a light in my life, and I hope I can meet you in person soon to give you a big hug!
Dear reader, so many people have come together to put this novel in your hands, and I hope you know how absolutely loved you are. Thank you for sharing this story with me. I hope you enjoyed every single second.
