My agent at The Gernert Company, Will Roberts, for his meticulous eye, sustained encouragement and enthusiasm, and the ability to gently keep me on the right track. Margot Mallinson, my editor at Mira, for her belief in this story, in me as an author, and her amazing capacity to make a book shine. Libby McGuire, whose expertise I was so fortunate to enjoy during her time as an agent. Michelle Meade, who helped to polish my story in ways that truly mattered. Thomas Hess, Leanna Hamill and Jennifer Harris, collectively known as The N.I.P.s—the best and most demanding writing group ever—and good friends, to boot. Stacie Julian and Linda MacKinnon—you know what you did, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. My incredible group of girlfriends for all the laughs, good times, and so much encouragement. To my father, Charles Arena, and my whole gigantic family, but especially to Isabelle, Julian and Greg, who supported me, cheered me on, and probably heard 27 different iterations of this book. They never once said “no” when I asked if I could read them just one more scene—even though I’m sure they really wanted to. You should know it made a difference. And thanks, finally, to Louie, who made sure I was never really working all alone. I miss you more than words can say, buddy, so I’ll just leave it at Woof!

My apologies to anyone I may have omitted. It’s never intentional.
