Tell Me Three Things
Page 24
I can’t thank you enough for reading. Though this may look just like an ordinary book to you, for me it’s one more magical first: my very first novel for young adults. Only took twenty-four years to get the courage.
Julie Buxbaum
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
It is with a heart full of gratitude, as embarrassingly earnest as that sounds, that I thank the following people, without whom this book would just be a big tangle of words on an antiquated hard drive: Jenn Joel, for being a brilliant and kick-ass agent and champion. Beverly Horowitz, for her sharp insights and for pushing me to make Tell Me Three Things better with each and every iteration. The wonderful and incomparable Elaine Koster, who is terribly missed. Susan Kamil, who rocks like no other. The Fiction Writers Co-op, for the support and laughs and for making the writing life a whole lot less solitary. John Foley, for naming Book Out Below! Karen Zubieta, for helping me to keep all the balls in the air. The Flore clan, for letting me into your club and allowing me to share your name. Mammaji, who has given up so much so that I get to do what I love; I am eternally grateful. Josh, who keeps me honest and laughing; I won the big brother lottery. My dad because he’s awesome. My mom, Elizabeth, who is loved and remembered every day, but whose name doesn’t get said out loud enough. And, of course, my husband, Indy, and our two little snugglebugs, Elili and Luca—“love” is too small a word. I am so honored that I get to call you guys mine.
