To my AMAZING beta readers. For Jen Beck and Megan Titherington, you give such thoughtful feedback. Thank you for not holding back. Plus, it’s so fun getting to be friends. To the ever honest Nancy Somerville, you read the earliest draft of this story, I hope you did that with wine. To the dark horse in reading romance, Steve Bradham, and to Holli, because we both know she talked you in to this and because you have mad editing skills. For the very talented author, Mona Shroff and her great eye for what makes a story work and making me talk through the feedback about Caleb and Maren (the introvert in me tried to get out of it). And of course, to my dear friend Kimberlee McClellan—for everything from advice to bringing those tickets faithfully to our meet-ups, and your help making this book better (and to your mom who reads them, hi Karen!).
For my dad, and his encouragement, we remain strong. To Gwen McCurdy and her phone calls, I’m trying to write faster, I promise. To the Petrecz family for caring about my writing. For Erica Wight for being a great human and being there. And for Brian and this crazy life we have, thank you for never complaining when I say I need more time to finish just one more chapter.
