ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I WOULD LIKE to thank Maggie Hanbury and Robin Straus. You are every author’s dream agents. A huge thank-you to my editor, Kelsey Horton, not only for supplying many books on my to-read list, but for her actual editing.

Thank you to Jill Amack, Jon Howard, and the Epic Reads Impulse team at HarperCollins for all their hard work on this book. There’s only so much an author can do alone.

Rhean, I don’t know where I would be without your guidance. You have taught me so much over the years.

Katie, your life advice is the reason I’ve survived these last nineteen years. Mark, I still believe socks with sandals are an abomination. Christian, there is no one with whom I would rather girl talk.

To my parents—so many thank-yous have already been said, but I know it’ll never come close to being enough. In my opinion, so far, so good on the parenting. But then again, I might be a bit biased.
