Dedication

To my own older brother’s best friend, Anthony,

the love of my life.

I'm so glad you finally gave in to me.

And to Sarah Blakey—

thank you for sharing

that kick-ass, worst pick-up line ever!

It is a doozy.

And finally, to my editor, Josette.

Thank you so much for your belief, your enthusiasm,

and for helping me bring this story to life.
