I didn’t intend for this book to be dual point of view. I first wrote it solely from Emmy’s perspective. But Ben wouldn’t shut up.

It wasn’t what I had initially planned, and might be a bit unconventional, but when Ben tells me to do something, I try to be a good girl and listen. He can be very persuasive. You’ll see.
