ALL MY LOVE AND THANKS goes to my parents for their never-ending support. Love you, Mom and Dad. Ben, Jenny, and Colin—you guys are all right, too, I guess. Love ya.
A huge thank-you to the rest of my wonderful family. So many of you have shown me immense love and support, and I truly appreciate it. The same sentiment goes to my friends, who’ve listened to me blabber on about the books and put up with me skipping various activities thanks to writing, editing, etc. But just look at this beautiful book you’re holding—it was all worth it!
Special shout-out to Dan Lazar for being such an awesome, hardworking agent, and to everyone else at Writers House, especially Torie Doherty-Munro. My editor, Amy Cloud, deserves endless praise and thanks for her diligence in shaping and shepherding this book through the editorial process. Thanks to everyone else at Simon & Schuster, especially Audrey Gibbons, Karin Paprocki, and Mara Anastas.
