I would also like to thank my agent, Elizabeth Harding, for her unerring support and guidance, as well as the rest of my team at Curtis Brown, especially Ginger Clark, Holly Frederick, and Sarah Perillo. Thanks also go out to Madeline Tavis and Olivia Simkins for their assistance!
I am grateful to my family, especially my husband, who is everything I could ask for in a partner and whose generous and freely given support enables me to do more than I ever could on my own, as well as my adorable toddler and baby, who only tried to eat my manuscript a couple of times apiece. I am also grateful for my extended family and support system—parents, siblings, colleagues, and friends.
Finally, special thanks go out to the two people whose love for this story propelled me through even the hardest days of writing-with-an-infant-while-sleep-deprived: Rachel Vincent, who sat across from me at Panera and told me how excited she was every single time we met up to write, and my mom, Marsha Barnes, who didn’t stop asking me about this book from the moment I read her the first chapter to the second she finally had an advanced copy in her hands.
