Off the Record by Camryn Garrett (read more books TXT) 📕

I have to thank my agent, Beth Phelan, who has answered far too many questions via Twitter DM than she should have to. You’ve been such a support during this entire process, and I’m so, so proud to call you my agent.

Thank you always to my family, especially my sister. Off the Record is about many things, but one of the main threads is about the messy, often difficult relationship between two sisters. I didn’t want to write something simple, but something real, like what we have. I love you, and I hope you know this wouldn’t be possible without you.

Tons of love to Nell Kalter for introducing me to Almost Famous and planting the seed for this book. Knowing you is such a joy.

Thank you to my incredible friends—you were all shouted out in my first acknowledgments, so I’ll only name-check a few. Faridah, thank you for all of the texts and DMs and advice, but also for pushing me to try new things, to think, and to be better. Christina, we’re both authors now! I’m so happy that we’re on this journey together. Parmida, you’re one of the warmest, most lovely people I’ve ever met, and I’m so proud to be your friend.

Michael Waters specifically gets a paragraph here because I neglected to give him one in the first book. I don’t actually know what to say, though! Go read the mushy essay I wrote about you in the eleventh grade, nerd.

I have to thank every single person who picked up Full Disclosure. I don’t know how to describe how much your positive feedback fortifies me. When I feel insecure or down, doubting my writing and my books, being able to go back to your kind words (and photos on Instagram!) absolutely makes all the difference. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
