  51. About the Publisher

Alyson Gerber, you were there for so much of the initial drafting of this book, reading revised scene after scene with such care and always making me feel like I was improving even when I thought I’d gone off the rails. Caela Carter, thank you for the boundless support and for your ability to see the sense in my always weird and often tangled mind.

So many friends have been there for me during the birthing of this book and were instrumental in keeping me sane throughout the writing of it. Thanks to Corey Ann Haydu, Jill Santopolo, Linsday Ribar, Steven Salvatore Shaw, Heather Demetrios, Mike Hanna, Erica Henegen, Clark Solak, Melissa Kavonic, and Ali Imperato. Matthew Kelly, my oldest friend in the world, who could have guessed way back when we were in nursery school together that one day I would be dedicating a book to you. All I ask in return is that you make me the Chef pasta on demand.

To the steadfast crew at Mess Hall, thank you for cheering me on through this process, especially Derek, Max, Cherry, and Dana.

To my Aardvarks, every year I get to work with you I am reminded of why I do this in the first place and leave inspired by your dedication and talent. Thank you all for being so generous and amazing. Special thanks to the merch squad—Anika, Carissa, Daniel, Mary, and Alin.

My incredible family who has supported me from day one, I am so grateful for your love and encouragement and your belief in me as I struggle along this crazy path of being a writer. Thank you to Ben, Leah, Otto, and Bea. And to my parents, Dan and Carol—you guys have been my champions since way back when my dream was acting, and I couldn’t have done any of this without you.

And for Faetra. I miss you every day.
