ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Thanks to How I Met Your Mother’s Barney for uttering that epic line.

Thank you, Alyssa Henkin, for representing this project.

Lots of thanks to Monica Stevenson and the amazing Canterwood models.

On the S&S Team of Awesome: Jessica Handelman, Liesa Abrams, Russell Gordon, Karin Paprocki, Alyson Heller, Mara Anastas, Fiona Simpson, Bethany Buck, Bess Braswell, Lucille Rettino, Nicole Russo, and Venessa Williams. Brenna Franzitta, thank you so much for being a fab managing ed.

Kate Angelella, the edit letter for this book is by far the most memorable. I hope you realize what you (fueled by coffee, espresso beans, and Red Bull) bring to these books. You’re not only a fabulous editor, but also an envy-worthy writer, and that’s what gives your edits that extra sparkle.

Thanks to my awesome reader girlies! Your e-mails, letters, and comments mean so much. Team Canterwood!

Mandy Morgan and Lauren Barnholdt, the phone calls and e-mails are so fun, and I always look forward to chatting.

Ross Angelella, thanks for introducing me to the ICB. A perfect “I finished my draft!” reward. Or, you know, a Monday night “just because.” ;)

KAA, I *always* get stuck writing yours. Sparkly spritzers, nights at BF, falling down (we really need to start that photo-journal …) and HIMYM marathons are just some of the things that make you beyond superimportant in my life. And there’s so much more to do … LYSMB <3
