The Missing by Kiersten Modglin (essential books to read txt) 📕

to my amazing husband and beautiful little girl—thank you for loving me and believing in me every step of the way. No one sees the ins and outs of this process like you two and I’m so grateful to have you by my side as we navigate this twisted, amazing journey.

To my friend, Emerald O’Brien—thank you for being my biggest cheerleader and sounding board. I don’t know what publishing a book looked like before you came into my life and I never want to go back to those days. I’m forever thankful for your insights, encouragement, and unwavering support.

To my immensely talented editor, Sarah West—I’m always grateful to have you on my team, but with this book in particular, you were nothing short of a godsend. Thank you for working so hard to improve every story I bring you and for never batting an eye at my wild schedule.

To the proofreading team at My Brother’s Editor—I’m so grateful to work with your powerhouse team! Thank you for polishing each book until it shines and for always giving me that final boost of encouragement before it reaches readers.

To my #KMod Squad—yep, I’m taking all of y’all on the island, deal with it. Seriously though, I’m so humbled and honored by your support every single day. Thank you for cheering on each new release, for loving my characters and their stories as much as I do, for the reviews, the tags on social media, the recommendations to friends, the emails, the comments, and for being the best fans in the world.

To my agent, Carly Watters—thank you for being a champion for my books and for me. Thank you for believing in their potential and helping me to reach new heights and achieve my dreams.

To Katy Corbeil and Jessica Laguna—readers who won a chance to be written as characters in this book. Thank you for trusting me. I had so much fun writing you both into this world and I hope you loved your characters!

Last but certainly not least, to you—thank you for reading this story. I spent many long nights creating this world, these characters, and their suspenseful and, at times, heartbreaking story. During those long writing sessions, I’d often think about what my readers would feel during certain parts or about certain characters. What they’d take away from certain moments. Who they’d hate. Who they’d love. If they’d feel anger, hurt, or betrayal right along with these characters. I thought of you, Dear Reader, and what your journey would be with Katy and the others. No matter how you ended up feeling—whether you loved or hated it—I offer you my sincerest thanks for supporting my art and my career. If you look close enough at each of my stories, there’s always a lesson that can be found. I think with this one, the lesson was this: I, like Noah’s Lola, believe we are stronger together. I’m so thankful you decided to take this trip with me.
