Many thanks to my agent, Laney Katz Becker. Both books I’ve written have been improved tremendously through her expert advice, and I truly owe her everything.
I’m so fortunate to work with an amazing editor, Danielle Perez at Berkley. Her knowledge and insight helped this book become the best book it could possibly be. Plus, she’s a genuinely great person who’s just plain fun to work with.
I also want to give a special thank-you to my publicist, Lauren Burnstein, and marketer, Fareeda Bullert, who are both incredible. And a huge thank-you to Ivan Held and the entire team at Berkley.
Thank you to my copy editor, Eileen Chetti, who did an amazing job making sure the book’s details were consistent and accurate.
A majority of this book, like my first novel, was written at Y Café at Twelfth Street and Avenue B in New York City. Thanks to Tommy and Gigi and the rest of the staff for the countless great meals and drinks they served me while I wrote.
