I’m sincerely grateful to all the people who helped make this book possible. The team at HMH has been phenomenal, and I can’t imagine better champions, with a special thanks to Catherine Onder and Gabriella Abbate.
As always, I could not have done it without Kristin Nelson, literary agent extraordinaire.
I’m overwhelmingly grateful to my very kind, very wise, very patient friends who helped me talk it through a million times, especially Carrie Ryan, Sarah Rees Brennan, Jennifer Lynn Barnes, Rose Brock, and Bob.
Special thanks to Shellie Rea, who keeps the real world running so I can focus on the fictional.
And, last but certainly not least, my family. Thank you and I love you.
