The Junior by Monica Murphy

Acknowledgements

Lets just get the hard part out of the way - I hope you weren’t disappointed in Caleb’s choice AKA my choice for Caleb. To me, they make complete sense. To have him with Baylee would’ve read too much like The Sophomore and I wanted to do something different. I wanted Caleb to work for it in a sense. To figure out what he wanted in a relationship - to realize he even wanted one in the first place. And Gracie needed to figure out some stuff too. Plus, they needed to be friends first. To respect each other before they could bang each other - ha HA.

Anyway…I love how this book turned out. Caleb is my favorite. Such a perv! Says and thinks whatever he wants! Reminds me of someone else I created who is…The Senior. I’m sure y’all are mad at me for ending the book like that but DON’T WORRY. It’s all going to be okay. Eventually.

Thank you to everyone at Valentine PR who make my life easier, especially Nina who holds my hand and tells me everything’s going to be all right. Big thank you to Hang Le for designing these gorgeous covers. Thank you to Kevin Roldan for being a delight to work with and getting Wyatt to pose for a few photos for my book cover. Big, huge thank you to Rebecca and Sarah for slapping my book into shape, as well as Brittany and Serena for the excellent beta reads and notes. You are all the absolute BEST!

As always, thank you to the readers, bloggers, reviewers, etc. who read my books and share them everywhere. It means so much to me. I seriously cannot do this job with you!

I also need to give my daughter props because she’s always sharing stories about her friends and their romantic entanglements and they are so good, y’all. Pure inspiration for current and future books!

p.s. - If you enjoyed this book, I would greatly appreciate it if you left a review on the retailer site you bought it from, or on Goodreads. Thank you so much!
