Thank you to my parents and family, with my apologies for the dead and/or evil parents in this book. I promise they’re not based on you.
And last but certainly not least—thank you to my sister, Laura, my first and best critique partner and the reason this book became a sister story. Sorry I made the little sister the crazy one.
