Elena, my best friend and mainstay in my life.
To the prince of the house and also one of the protagonists of the story: Bubu, my dog.
To all those who chase a dream and don’t take no for an answer.
Thanks to Alessandra Penna for having placed her trust in me and my novel, it was a pleasure working with you.
To Sonia S., Ros, Valentina G., Livia, Elisa B., Isabella D., Ilaria C. for our chats and friendship born thanks to this book.
A special thank goes to Alessandra Zengo, for putting up with me for so many months. You were wonderful.
To all the girls, to all the bloggers, to all the people who listened to me, and followed me during the writing of the book up until now, and to all those who have the pleasure of being my virtual friends. You are too many to quote individually, but you know who you are.
To Elisabetta Baldan for having created the very first cover of the novel that I will always carry in my heart.
Thanks to those who follow me and to all the readers of my blog.
And I haven’t forgotten you, my dear reader. To you I owe a lot more.
