Frankly in Love (Frankly in Love, #1)(101)

Enormous thanks to Yoon Bai and Gemma Baek for keeping my crappy Korean straight and for your critical translation skills.

All the hats off to artist Owen Gildersleeve, for crafting a cover authors dream of.

Thanks to Jillian Vandall, because Jillian Vandall.

I would not even be here without wife Nicola Yoon. You are my love, my best friend, my weirdest friend. You are my most trusted writing partner and tough-as-nails business sounding board. I have a hard time believing we actually get to be on this creative journey together. Hand in hand. Step by step. Some mornings I wake up and think, “We are married, and we are writers!”

Thank you, Nathan Cernosek, Wendy Wunder, Gregg Rosenblum, Anna Carey, Adam Silvera, Sabaa Tahir, Ransom Riggs, Tahareh Mafi, Marie Lu, and Primo Gallanosa for your cheers and support. You know like only fellow writers can know.

Thank you Andrew Dodge, Michelle Hlubinka, Sue Jung, Christina Ma, J Chad Evans, and the rest of the original Apey crew.

Hi Penny! One day I bet you’ll get to write acknowledgments too.

Thanks also to Billy Lambufonda.

Finally: thank you, Dad. You taught me more than I think either of us realized. I know you only got to hold the book in your hands, and not for very long because you were so tired, but I know you read it in your own way using your heart instead of your eyes. You can officially brag about me to your new mysterious friends. I miss you.
