To friends who were so generous with their time and expertise: Wendy Finerman, Hillary Irwin, Matthew Hiltzik, Josh Wolfe, Kyle White, Ludmilla Suvorova, and all my girlfriends, whether here in New York or elsewhere – I’m sending you each a huge hug and a plea to meet for drinks soon. Like, tomorrow.
Words can’t express the gratitude I feel for Mallory Stehle and Tracy Larry, without whom this book would literally never have happened. You will be part of our family, always.
Mom, Dad, and Dana: I love you so much. Thanks for keeping me grounded and (semi) sane, and for all the ways you offer help, encouragement, and most important, a good laugh – and always have. Thank you to my whole family, for your constant cheering and understanding and always knowing when not to ask about work: Bernie, Judy, Seth, Sadie, Grandma, Papa, Jackie, Mel, Allison, Dave, Sydney and Emma. The past couple years have been crazy, and we never could have survived it (or enjoyed the wild ride) without each and every one of you.
And most of all, thank you to my husband, Mike, who makes everything possible. This book would have never been more than a fleeting fancy without your support, suggestions, ideas, and careful reads at every stage. Thank you isn’t enough for all the ways, big and small, you make my life – all our lives – complete. To R and S, thank you for bringing me more joy than I ever could have imagined. It is impossible not to smile when you’re near me. I love you three with all my heart.
