To my drafting partner, Rebecca Ross, thank you for swapping chapters with me as we furiously wrote every day to meet our word count goals. You are an angel for reading—and liking—my messy drafts. To Shea Ernshaw, my adorable sugar monster, I’m so thankful for our friendship.
To my sweet friends and professional Voxers: Adrienne Young, Kristin Dwyer, Adalyn Grace, Shelby Mahurin, and Rachel Griffin. For all the laughs, support, and encouragement, I will forever carry every word. My world wouldn’t be the same without any of you in it. Love from the bottom of my heart. I’ll see all of you in Asheville—no arguments.
A huge thanks to my friends who love me, cheering me on while I’m traveling, on deadline, or missing supper club. You know who you are! Love forever! <3
This book could not have been possible without the many conversations I had with my dad, asking him about his life in the jungle. He grew up in the Bolivian Amazon, born and raised in a small village that was inaccessible by road. To go anywhere, he had to go by river. Dad, I am in awe of who you are, and this book is for you. Thank you for the wild stories; I’ll cherish them forever. Momma, mil gracias por tu apoyo. Te quiero mucho! Rodrigo, thanks for hand selling my books to everyone in your life (Hi, Apple employees!). It means so much to me. Love you!
Andrew James, every book is possible because of you. Thank you for loving and supporting my dream, for not blinking an eye when I’m in my pajamas for a straight week and for making sure I get out of the house to see the sunshine. Thank you for knowing exactly when takeout is needed and for reading whatever I put in front of you. Eres el amor de mi vida. I love you. <3
To my readers—you’ll never know how thankful I am for you: for every review, like, retweet, and story reply. I am SO grateful for all of you.
