TO SAY this book was raised by a village would be an understatement so profound as to be laughable. There are so many people who supported me throughout this process, and while I hardly imagine I can name them all, I’d be remiss if I didn’t at least give it a shot.
LucyKate, Ali, Jenna, Elaine, Heather, Jill, you fill my daily life with laughter and love, and I’m so grateful to have you. Terrifying as it sounds, you are all the voices in my head. Tristina, Ashley, Katie, Dahlia, Caitlin, Sara, and the other Sara, your support means more to me than I can say. Thank you for your encouragement and guidance. To Dawn, who has cheered me on from the moment I put pen to paper. My editor Anne has been such a cheerleader for this project, and I am so thankful. To each and every person in the Twitter machine who has cheered me on and propped me up when I went to tears for the millionth time, you will never know what that has meant to me.
To Heather Anne, of course and always. And to my best beloved Jeremy, who has never given up on me, not for a moment, not for a single second. I love you more than there are stars in the sky. Thank you for everything.
