A million billion thank-yous to:
My awesome editor, Fiona Simpson, for taking over and not skipping a beat! This book would not be what it is if it weren’t for your amazing insight and advice.
My agent, Alyssa Eisner Henkin, for being the best agent a girl could ask for. Alyssa, I can’t imagine doing what I do without you. Thank you for everything.
Kate Angelella, for coming up with the idea and believing in me enough to think I could do it. I miss you!!!
My mom, for always passing out my books to any random person she can think of. Mom, you’ve always believed in me, and for that I am forever grateful.
My sister Kels, for writing with me, making me laugh, and being the best friend and sister in the whole entire world.
Jessica Burkhart, for being a great friend. Love our #1k1hr sessions on Twitter—thanks for always listening to me and being there to talk writing or life! Team Barnhart FTW. <3
Kevin Cregg, for sending me song recommendations and taking me to Big Dip all those years ago.
My dad and Beth, for their support.
Everyone at Simon & Schuster for all the amazing things you do for me and my books.
And finally, my husband, for everything. Aaron, you’re the most amazing thing that’s ever happened to me, and every single day I thank God I’m lucky enough to have someone like you in my life. Thanks for making me a better person, a better writer, and making me believe in fairy tales. I love you.
