ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The author would like to thank Caitlyn Dlouhy, the brains of this operation, and Ariel Colletti, who is as lovely as her name. Thanks to Justin Chanda for his ongoing and unwavering support and for just being a great guy.

Thanks to Valerie Shea, genius copy editor; eagle-eye production editor Kaitlin Severini; Sonia Chaghatzbanian and Michael McCartney, who design such beautiful books; and production manager Chava Wolin, who makes it all come out right.

As always, this author would be at a loss without her fine friends to keep her sane. Special thanks go to Lisa Brown, Amy Graham, Sandy Hasenauer, Jaye Lapachet, and Sarah Schulz in this regard. Many thanks to the good people at Pretty fab PR, who throw pretty fab book parties, and to the folks at Flyleaf Books in Chapel Hill. Thank you, Stephanie Rosen, for being an ideal reader, and to your mom, Michelle Rosen, for being an ideal librarian.

As always, the author would like to acknowledge Clifton, Jack, and Will Dowell, the most awesome family a girl could ask for, and Travis, her dog, who kept her company while she wrote this book.
