Josh Bank, Joelle Hobeika, and Sara Shandler, who tell all the best stories, along with Les Morgenstein and all the cool kids at Alloy Entertainment. I am so very lucky; I am in such very good hands.
Christa and Courtney and Julie and Corey and Natalie and Tess and Annie and Elissa and Emery and Bethany and Maria and Melissa and Dahlia and Ally and every other gorgeous writer and blogger and librarian who has sat with me at a bar or in a convention center hallway or on the internet over the last few years and taught me about writing and about life, along with the hundreds of YA authors whose beautiful, complicated work inspires me every day. What an incredible club to be a part of. I am so humbled and proud.
The Fourteenery, always.
Rachel Hutchinson, to Pluto.
Lisa Burton, Jennie Palluzzi, Sierra Rooney, and Marissa Velie, beloveds; Jackie Cotugno, most favorite; Tom Colleran, best friend and old love and wartime consigliere. Cotugnos and Collerans, who hold and keep me: you are all so completely wonderful. I love you all so much.
