To Kristi Cook—critique partner, friend, therapist, sidekick and partner in crime—thank you for being awesome. That is all. To my writing retreat group—Cindy, Danielle, Angie and Kate—who keep me full of inspiration and in good humor, thanks for your generous words of wisdom and your friendship. Without you, I’d be a hotter mess than usual. To my friend and fellow author, Kim Purcell, thanks for all the sanity checks and energetic conversations. To Jenny, thanks for the lunches, the brainstorming and the plotting—I’m starting to think we may need some super-villain masks. A big shout out to Julie, Marissa, Sami and Grace at JKS for their superhuman publicity efforts—thank you! To all the bloggers, booksellers and readers who spread the word about my books and humble me with their unwavering support, I wouldn’t be here without you. Thanks for doing all that you do.
To my extended family, friends and fans, a heartfelt thank you for being such amazing champions. Much gratitude to my parents, who always encouraged me to fuel my voracious imagination and to push the boundaries of possibility. Thank you for never holding me back. To my brothers, thanks for always looking out no matter what. Lastly, to the loves of my life—Cameron, Connor, Noah and Olivia—thank you for making no other universe equal this one.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Seventeen Magazine Summer Club author Amalie Howard grew up on a small Caribbean island where she spent most of her childhood with her nose buried in a book. Twenty-two countries, surfing with sharks and several tattoos later, she has traded in bungee jumping in China for writing the adventures she imagines instead. She isn’t entirely convinced which takes more guts.
