Many thanks to Ali for betaing! We're nearing the end and if my outline would stop changing (on its own, of course!), we're two chapters away from the end. Thank you for continuing to read and comment :)

Thank you to Ali, who can convince me to rethink an entire section, add more to it, and then, in the end, recommends to just scrap it which I do. ;) That's a good beta!

This is it! Thank you to Ali for always giving me the best feedback and making sure I'm using commas and not using my Boston double negatives :)
