Thanks to Joyce Sweeney, Lara Zeises, Nancy Werlin, Marjetta Geerling, Toni Markiet, Catherine Onder, George Nicholson, and my family for their help and support. Special thanks to Marie Baker and the teachers and students at Marlboro High School in New York, for talking to me about Nick, Caitlin, boyfriends and girlfriends, why I needed to write another book about these characters, and for helping me put together what I wanted Caitlin’s story to be about, and what I didn’t want it to be about too.
