Dear Readers,

How exciting that you chose to read this book! My book! I have so much to tell you! First, I have found myself on the brink of love with The Boy. And then there's my job with a Real Writer, my adventures in rock climbing (or perhaps I should replace the word "adventures" with "misadventures"), and my work as the advice columnist for the Mulgrew Sentinel, which I know is just a small stepping stone on my path to becoming a Real Writer myself. But why am I telling you about these things when you could be reading them all for yourself? Enjoy!

Sincerely yours,

Lily M. Blennerhassett
