No Falling Allowed (No Kissing Allowed) (18 page)

Acknowledgments

Thank you, God, for guiding me daily through this thing called life and helping me to push myself in spite of hurdles instead of backing down.

So many thank yous to my agent, Nicole Resciniti, for being my rock, supporting me no matter what, and always being a call or text away. You are amazing.

Thank you to my amazing editor Alycia Tornetta. Working with you is so wonderful. I have full trust that when my manuscripts hit your hands, they will come back to me a thousand times better. Thank you for taking on this book and loving these characters as much as I do.

Thank you to Curtis Svehlak, Debbie Suzuki, and the rest of the staff at Entangled for helping make this book possible. I so appreciate you and everything you do for me and my books.

At this point, I could not write a book without a few dozen emails and calls to Rachel Harris and Cindi Madsen. You are both so amazingly talented. I feel blessed to call you friends.

This particular book could not have happened without several early readers. Kayleigh Gore, thank you for your enthusiasm and love of this book. I am still smiling thinking about your notes! Thank you to Jenn Wood for reading the book and making me laugh.

None of this would be possible without the continued love and support of my husband, two daughters, and the rest of my amazing family. I love each of you so much!

Finally, thank you to all the bloggers and readers out there who love reading, who put in insane hours to help authors and publishers get the word out about books. We could not do this without you.

a novel by
Tiffany Truitt

In the span of seven days, Annabel Lee will lose her heart. Kennedy Harrison, as reckless with life as Annabel is obsessed with order, never could commit to anything. But he’s got a history with Annabel, and for once Kennedy doesn’t want to run. Determined to spend time with her before she leaves for college, Kennedy dares her to join him on a road trip to a music festival. And neither of them could ever say no to a dare. What follows is a dizzying week of music, shady hotels, comical dares, and a passion neither one knew existed. But when it ends, Annabel and Kennedy will realize the biggest dare of all might just be falling for each other.
