To Gabby, Maggie, Emily, and Maisie, thank you for unloading the dishwasher when it was my turn, but I was on a word count roll, and never complaining when I made noise in the kitchen at 1:00 a.m. while I was writing. You truly lived with the blood, sweat, and tears that went into this project.

Thank you, Mom and Dad, for having me, making me waffles, and not reading this until I told you it was ready. Oh—and thank you for pushing me to take writing classes and never telling me that being an author was a bad idea, even if you wanted to.

Thank you, Apple and Maddie, for reading this a million times and letting me know if something was stupid. Thank you for the dog gifs, the giraffe memes, and being my biggest fans. Or, at least, pretending to be.

To Kevin, thank you for teaching me about sports and video games. And thank you for always bringing me a snack or tea, especially when I didn’t ask for it. Without you, this book would have taken twice as long,

To my friends and teammates, thank you for the anecdotes, slang tips, and ideas about being a bro. Thanks for being there to keep me sane and understanding when I had a deadline. You guys are the true O.Bs.

Thank you to the #MeToo movement for bringing important stories into our culture, championing women artists, and for making my ex-boyfriends wonder if this book is about them. It’s not.

To everyone else, thank you. You know who you are, and you know why.
