ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This book would never have reached publication without the generous time, love, and support of my family. Special thanks to Diane and Reed Hainsworth, Stefan, Nova, and Felix.
Courtney Summers and Tiffany Schmidt, it hardly feels like enough, but as always, thank you for being absolutely essential. Brenna Yovanoff and Linda Grimes—your early input and honest opinions helped get this idea off the ground.
Very special thanks (on so many levels) to Jennifer Laughran. And to Andrea Brown, Mary Kole, Taryn Fagerness, and Michelle Weiner.
Kristin Rens, thank you for taking this book on, for asking all the right questions, for your kindness and patience. Additional huge thanks to Kelsey Murphy, Alessandra Balzer, Donna Bray, and everyone at Balzer + Bray/HarperCollins, including Caroline Sun, Nellie Kurtzman, Sarah Creech, Alison Donalty, and Bethany Reis.
Thank you to Charlotte Hainsworth Moore in the best possible way, Amy Burnett and Moca (you don’t know this, but the first grain of this idea came to me in your entryway), Meghan Sharron, Matt Lowery, Louise Martorano, Jodi Bova, Gillian Maynard, Eva Barkman, Jennifer Wettstein, Jill DeRaad, Christina MacDonald, and the Park County sheriff’s office.
Last, but never least, thank you to my readers.
