The author wishes to express special gratitude to Stacy Creamer and Lauren Spiegel at Touchstone, without whom this book would not have been possible. Many thanks also to the rest of the editorial, design, and publicity team at Simon & Schuster for their invaluable contribution: Cherlynne Li, Renata DiBiase, George Turianski, Martha Schwartz, David Falk, Meredith Kernan, and Marcia Burch.
Last but not least, special thanks to my literary agent, the inimitable Noah Lukeman.
