Acknowledgments

I’d like to thank the entire team at Entangled Publishing for all their hard work and long hours, especially my editor Alethea Spiridon who has been so amazingly supportive. Of course, I send glittery kisses to my agent. Nic, I love you!

A big shout-out to my real-life rogue bocce team: Julie, Trina, Ashling, Ginnie, Victoria, Mikaela, Nikki, Kristin, and Max, Maura and Eleanor, too. Go Team A or B or 1 or 2 or Ikea or Christmas! Thanks for welcoming me into the group and for adding some fun to my summers!

A huge thank you to my family and friends. To my fur-baby Harry, I can’t imagine writing a book without you sleeping under my desk, or, on occasion, lounging across my laptop.

To Jen-Jen and Katinka and the infamous sangria-filled BBQ singing The Golden Girls theme song. Sorry, neighbors!

Lastly, I’d like to thank my Nunnie, who not only decided I would be a writer when I was a little girl, but also introduced me to many things I probably shouldn’t have been watching at an early age. Thank you for the introduction to Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, and Sophia. You were right, they were ahead of their time. And I treasure those Saturday night sleepovers laughing at the TV. I miss you!
