Acknowledgements

First, a massive thank you to Amberjack Publishing, who took a chance on a young writer who was just about ready to give up. And a special thank you to my lovely editor, Jenny Catanese, for all of her guidance and support.

I’d also like to thank Anastasia Hantzis, for teaching me that books will never let you down, even when people do. Thank you to my always excited friends, for never being any of those people who let me down. I promise I’ll try to make you famous (but I can’t guarantee anything, sorry Uma).

I’m forever grateful to my parents, who patiently watched me obsess over my manuscript for three years and never once let me lose faith.

And of course, to my sister Rahat, for crying before every one of my school dances and graduations. You are perhaps the only person I would choose over George Clooney.
