Thank you to my agent, Stacey Donaghy—for sitting in Pickle Barrel and hashing out the plot of this book over a plate of bacon and waffles. Even though I had to make some major modifications to our plot ideas and Stan Donaghy the thug just didn’t fit into the plot anymore, those breakfast dates are half the fun of writing books.
Thank you to my editor, Sarah Cantin— for your super-human patience. You helped me save this book when it passed “lost” and kept going down a scary path.
To my publisher, Judith Curr, and the team at Atria Books: Suzanne Donahue, Ariele Fredman, Tory Lowy, Kimberly Goldstein, and Alysha Bullock—for another beautiful series, complete!
To my family—I promise I will never write two books at the same time ever again.
