A Very Perry Wedding by Marie Landry

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Endless thanks to my mum, who is my best friend, my biggest supporter, and the first pair of eyes to read anything I write.

Heaps of gratitude, love, and virtual hugs to Jaimie Admans. I could fill this entire section with all you do on a daily basis to keep me sane, keep me laughing, and inspire me. You make the world a brighter place and you certainly make my life better by being in it. Caru chi. *woofs uncontrollably at you*

Thank you to my beta readers, who I’m also blessed to call friends: Brenda St John Brown, Kaley Stewart, and JaimeKristal Lott. I’m so grateful for your feedback and even more grateful for your friendship. And Brenda, thank you, as always, for your help with the blurb!

So much love to my lifelong friend Krista Van Staalduinen. Our (mis)adventures, inside jokes, and conversations often end up in my books; I’ve been waiting nearly six years to use the story of Maynooth and his friend! Like Willow tells Jasper: you’re a lovely human being and I’m grateful you’re my friend. You’ve taught me so much about the importance of animal fostering and adoption, so Jasper’s decision to adopt is another of many nods to you, the impact you have, and the good you do in this world.

Thank you to Kim Jones and Kayla Lair. I hit the jackpot the day you two came into my life as accountability partners in Manifestation Babe Academy. Thank you for cheering me on and being so supportive; you’re both a huge factor in this book getting finished. I’m so glad the Universe—and Kathrin Zenkina—brought us together. And to Kathrin, thank you for inspiring me and helping me change my life.

Finally, so much gratitude goes to all the bookstagrammers, bloggers, and other book-loving people who put so much time, effort, and love into talking about and promoting books. An extra special thank-you goes to the Canadian Book Enablers for your support and enthusiasm about A Very Perry Christmas and A Very Perry Wedding.
