To Jess Regel, my foreign agent, for sending (and supporting) Paige, Rainer, and Jordan out in the great, big world.
To Wendy Dopkin, copy editor extraordinaire, who made me think very, very hard about using the word stet (and who knew far more about my hometown of Maui than I did).
To my girls, who don’t always understand the ins and outs of what I do, but who are proud beyond measure even still. You fill all my worlds, fictional and otherwise, with joy.
To Katie Hanson, for saying, “Hey, you should write that book.”
To Lexa Hillyer, for continuing to challenge me with the greatest of kindness.
To Brad, Yfat, Guy, India, and Foxy Gendell, for their boundless support and love.
To Carina MacKenzie, for telling me I wasn’t too far off base, and for the vampires, always.
To everyone on Twitter, for obsessing as much as I do over behind-the-scenes young Hollywood.
To my parents, who continue to remind me that joy alone, apart from accomplishment or prize, has the greatest value.
And finally, to Katie and Josh—for falling in love all those years ago, and first making me wonder.
