Ariel Lawhon and Lauren Willig, who both fielded terrified phone calls that included the question, “BUT HOW?”
Tasha Turner, Felicia Grossman, Jenny Rae Rappaport, Lauren Conrad, Stacey Agdern, and Brina Starler, for kindly sharing insights about their Jewish faith with me.
Blake Leyers, my beloved friend, you are as supportive as good pantyhose. Thank you for the phone calls, the texts, the brainstorming, and above all for the note “If you are writing authentically, you cannot fail.” It’s still taped to my computer.
The rest of the Blanket Fort. For gifs and in-jokes and utter ridiculousness. You are my people.
Ali Trotta, for shrieking with excitement so loudly when I shared the news about this book, I had to put the phone down, and for regular texts of encouragement.
Twitter peeps, who daily bring me joy and respite. Thank you for being my virtual watercooler.
My daughter and every single “YOU GOT THIS” text.
My parents and all the errands run, the moods endured, the tears dried.
My husband and all the everythings.
Every person who identifies female and has rage. I feel you, sister. This one’s for you.
