Acknowledgments

A very special thanks . . .
To my editor, Lindsay Sagnette, who quite literally had me at hello. Thank you
for sweeping me off my feet, and forcing me to use the phrase “the one.” You

are . . . and I am the lucky one.
To my agent, Erin Malone, who continues to support my career with sharp
fangs, crazy good editorial skills, and real respect. Erin, thank you for believing

in the things we can’t yet see, and trusting me to be your true partner. I am lucky,
and grateful. I’ll say it here on them all: you are never getting rid of me.
To my manager, Dan Farah—thank you for your willingness to grow, your

absolute commitment to my career and our relationship, and your unparalleled
belief in my future. I’m proud of us.
To my agent, David Stone, for keeping everyone and everything in line. I need

your wisdom, guidance, and support more than you know. Our grown-up
forever.

To everyone at Atria, especially Libby McGuire, for welcoming me with such
open arms.
To Laura Bonner, Caitlin Mahony, and Matilda Forbes Watson for carrying
Dannie and Bella all over the world.

To Kaitlin Olson for your time and attention, and to Erica Nori for being the
keyest (it’s a word) member of this team.

To Raquel Johnson, because the truest love there is has always already
belonged to us.
To Hannah Brown Gordon, first reader forever. Thank you for saying this was
special, and different, than any that came before. I needed it. I always need it.
