I started The Seven Year Slip and the dedication reads:
“For all the food lovers out there who burn popcorn in the microwave: we’d be too strong if we could cook, too.”
It got a laugh out of me before chapter one. I love when a book hooks me right from the dedication—funny, heartfelt, a little chaotic, whatever.
What book dedications have stayed with you? Whether it made you tear up, chuckle, or just made you feel something before chapter one—I’m here for all of it.

“This is presented as a work of fiction and dedicated to nobody.”
Charles Bukowski: Post Office
I can’t remember the book, but I do remember the dedication. It was something like this:
“Dedicated to me, cos I wrote the f*cking book.”
