To my first number one supporter, my teacher, Mr. Graham, thank you for having faith in me.

        To my family, parents, for supporting me with whatever it took you to to help me accomplish my dream, for giving me the strength to keep loving what I have always loved, and for accepting me for who I am. To my brother, for calling a hell of a good writer with an eye roll every single time. For my sisters, I love you both for the thumbs up and squeals whenever I have finished every single chapter. To you, I love you all.

        To my best friends, Amira, because you've been an incredibly amazing sister and because you've suffered through every story I wanted to write but never believed in myself to finish. Thank you for being there for me. Raouf, this is to you for your help and support with every step in this novel and with my other works, too. Rihan, for being an amazing best friend and an incredible supporting fan, your encouraging is what gave me the confidence to write this one in full. 

        Thank you all for believing in me.
