Thank you to Stef Hammett for being the ultimate work wife and picking up the slack at my day job when I was losing my mind juggling all of my responsibilities. You are seriously the best.

I’m always in awe of the support I get from my friends. No author has had a better cheerleading squad than I! I’d like to give an especially big shout-out to Sabrina Tompkins, Michael Iselin, and Kelly Rissman for listening to endless voice notes about the inhabitants of Asterisk Land while I was deep in the throes of writing this book. You guys are so patient and helped move this baby along just by being there and listening to me monologue about my personal life.

Thank you to Meredith Grossman for keeping me sane! And much appreciation for Bob Hoven and Mark Abraham, both of whom helped with technical aspects of this novel.

And last but not least, thank you, thank you, thank you to my family, extended and immediate. Mom and Dada, I wouldn’t be where I am without your support. I love you.
