The Lucky List
Page 23
Thank you to Justin Chanda, Julia McCarthy, Kristie Choi, and the rest of the team at Simon & Schuster. It is a true gift to know that my books are in such great hands.
To my incredible agent, Emily van Beek, at Folio Literary, for supporting me and my writing. I have so much gratitude for you, and I am beyond excited for the many books and years to come.
Huge thanks to Lianna, Ed, Judy, Mike, Luke, Aimee, Kyle, Alyssa, and Siobhan (matchmaker and ordained minister extraordinaire!) for friendship, and family, and unfailing support, all of which were needed in large supply this past year.
To my mom, who read to me every single night growing up, and planted the seeds that would turn into both a passion and a career. I love you.
And, as always, to Alyson Derrick, my wife, who is somehow even more swoony than Blake Carter, and makes me feel like the luckiest girl in the world every single day.
