  Thank you, as always, to my agent, Kevan Lyon. Much gratitude to my editor,
  Nicole Fischer, as well as Caro Perny, Pam Jaffee, and the whole team at Avon
  Books. A special thank you to the Avon Books Art Department, for giving me the
  most incredible covers I have ever seen.
  
  Thank you to Meredith Levy. You’re amazing.
  
  Conventional wisdom says that the Internet wastes time, and that it doesn’t
  foster interpersonal relationships—but without the support, encouragement, and
  general awesomeness of my friends online, there is a high degree of likelihood
  that this book wouldn’t have been written. Specifically, thanks to my Facebook
  misandrists, and to the Loop That Shall Not Be Named.
  
  Thank you also to my #1k1hr folks, for helping me get this book written,
  including, but not limited to: Carolyn Crane, Cynthia Ed
