Thanks to my wonderful agent, Jill Marsal; this book would not have been possible without your enthusiasm and support. Thanks to my editor, Anne Brewer, for loving my Yappy Crew! Special thanks to my dear friend, Marina Adair, for all the brainstorming, chats, and most importantly laughs!
Thanks to my early readers for your notes and support, specifically: Camille Minichino, Mariella Krause, and Laura-Kate Rurka.
Shout-out and hugs to my Carmen, Tommy, Bobby, and Tom Sr.: you all are simply the best personal cheering crew anyone could ever want.
