Many thanks to my early readers, Holly Frabizio, Stephen Busemeyer, Nicolle Wallace, and Jennifer Buckley, for blending friendship with editorial rigor.
To Kevan Lyon, my amazing agent, who made my dreams come true.
To Kate Dresser, whose brilliant edits had me shouting, “Hell yes!”
To Molly Gregory, for handling my endless first-timer questions with grace.
To my parents, for their unwavering support of my unconventional life.
And to my husband, Tom, who was my Fav way before “fav” was a thing.
