       Dedication

      Dedicated to the one person that has held my hand through all my worst decisions and cheered me on through all my amazing ones … this book and this story about bad decisions leading to the best things in life is for you, Mom.

      You’re just the best, and every mistake I’ve ever made, every bad choice I’ve blindly made, you’ve been there to pick up the pieces afterwards.

      Luckily, I do indeed have some pretty awesome stories to tell after everything is said and done, and all the storms have passed. But nothing makes me happier than knowing that none of those tales of wonder and of woe would have had a happy ending if I hadn’t been able to share them with you.

       INTRODUCTION

      She’s immature.

      She’s a brat.

      She’s annoying and not very nice.

      Why is she getting a story?

      Whenever I have a character that seems like they shouldn’t get a story or like they might
