My phenomenal team at Entangled—Britt Marczak, Debbie Suzuki, Heather Riccio—thank you for always having my back with a smile. My publicists, Melissa and Sharon, thank you for taking me on and thrusting me out of my comfort zone with kindness and crazy levels of patience for my endless questions.

Sarah, thank you for taking the time to read this at draft stage, and for making sure I got the complex world of heart conditions right.
To my writer friends who keep me sane—Mindy, Nola, Fiona, Katrina, Jessica, and Brenda—thank you for not judging my epic freak-outs. Lizzy and Molly, who read this chapter by chapter as it was written, and held my sanity together with kind words and clamors for more, you guys are utterly priceless to me.

To my friends and family who keep my feet grounded while I reach for whatever’s next, thank you. Mom and Dad, for always coming when I call, no matter how far away we live. My brothers, Doug, Matt, and Chris, and my sister, Kate, thank you for not killing me when I was younger. I really appreciate that now. Lynette, Dori, and Matt, thank you knowing how quirky our family is and still choosing to marry into it. Emily, Christina, Donna, Thea, Sara, Kierstan, Jessica, and Mandy—I couldn’t ask to have a better group of friends. Thank you for putting up with me when I’m in the writing cave, swearing to call you back. I really meant to, I swear.
And lastly, to my husband, Jason, again, because you’re my first thought in the morning and my last prayer in the evening, no matter what continent you’re on. Jagger’s only amazing because there’s so much of you in him.
About the Author
Rebecca Yarros is the author of Full Measures, a hopeless romantic, and lover of all things chocolate, coffee, and Paleo. In addition to being a mom, military wife, and blogger, she can never choose between young adult and new adult fiction, so she writes both. She’s a graduate of Troy University, where she studied European history and English, but still holds out hope for an acceptance letter to Hogwarts. Her blog, The Only Girl Among Boys, celebrates the complex issues surrounding the military life she adores and has been voted a Top Military Mom Blog the last three years.
When she’s not writing, she’s tying on hockey skates for her kids or sneaking in some guitar time. She is madly in love with her army aviator husband of twelve years, and they’re currently stationed in upstate New York with their gaggle of rambunctious kiddos and snoring English bulldog, but she would always rather be home in Colorado.
