Gina Wachtel, Beth Pearson, Ashley Gratz-Collier, Greg Mortimer, Leigh Merchant, Kelli Fillingim, and everyone at Random House for the work they contributed to this book.
The people who have believed in and continue to believe in my career and fight for it: Abbey MacDonald (all ninety pounds of her), Michael Pelmont, Lindsay Howard, Melissa Orton, Tim Scally, Joe Schwartz, Dan Baron, and everybody else at APA and New Wave. And Jeff Cohen and Cynthia Sohl, for standing behind me even when I was only able to pay them back by serving them cocktails.

All of my friendsâyou know who you areâthank you.
I love you and you've made my life better by being a part of it.
All of the Morgans and Colonnas, for being my family, supporting me, and providing me with a wealth of material.
