Acknowledgments

There are so many people we would like to thank for joining us in our pocket universe these last years. To our agent, Amy Stapp (the third Quinn!), thank you for always fighting for us. And to our editor, Mary Altman, your love for this book has given us more courage than you can imagine.

Thank you to Sourcebooks Landmark: our marketing team, headed by Cristina Arreola; our designer, Erin Fitzsimmons, for producing another perfect cover; and our copy editors, Jessica Thelander and Meaghan Summers. And to our sensitivity readers, thank you so much for your insightful notes and your time.

To the booksellers, librarians, archivists, event organizers, and, most importantly, the readers who have come along with us from Lake Prosper to this old pecan town, you have our most sincere gratitude. Finally, our truest thanks to each other. From one Quinn to another: there’s no one else I’d rather be trapped in a time loop with.

Alex: All my love to my parents, big sister, and the rest of my extended family. Thanks and love as well to my found family: my closest friends (you know who you are) and my mentors, who have guided me here. And finally, the loved ones I’ve lost. You live in my heart.

Robyn: I am so blessed with the folks in my life who have continued to support me unconditionally. My most heartfelt love to my parents, my best friends, my aunts and uncles, and my professional mentors and colleagues. You inspire my work in every way.
