  For anyone who’s ever been a fan, of anything.
  
  And for Tessa Woodward,
  
  who has no bigger fan than yours truly.

  Many thanks to Katie Dunneback and Rachael Kelly for helping with research on
  low vision and the adaptation process. Any mistakes I made were mine alone.
  
  I owe an immense debt of gratitude to my family and friends, and to the good
  people of HarperCollins, for their patience with me while I wrote this book.
  Bren, Courtney, Carey, Leigh, Laura, Susan, Kara, and everyone on the
  unnameable loop . . . You’ve saved me in so many ways. I love you all.
  
  And lastly, all my thanks and love to Mr. Dare—I love that we’ll grow old and
  geeky together.
