In fact I'm going to say something soppy about my fellow novel finalists for a sec, which is -- to the degree I know all of them, or hear about them from others, they are all not only fabulously talented writers but just excellent humans yk??
Always treating people with kindness. Lifting up others
I'd be honored to lose to any of their works but I'd also be thrilled to lose to any of them as PEOPLE, which is just the best really π
Congrats everyone and I'm glad you're here. Y'all rock. β€οΈ
