Now on to my team: everyone at Root Literary, but especially Taylor, who always dreams big with me, and Jasmine, who is the only reason I’ve responded to any email at all in the last year. Thank you for being the absolute best bolsters and keepers and colleagues a girl could ask for, for helping me keep moving when I need to, and for always creating space for me when I need to just pause.

To everyone at Berkley, and Penguin Random House as a whole, I know I tell you this all the time, but it’s still not enough: I am the luckiest to have found a home for my work with you. I can’t imagine anyone better, and in this ever-changing industry, I feel so grateful for how many of you I’ve gotten to hold on to these last few years for this incredibly wild ride. My editors Amanda Bergeron and Sareer Khader are truly two of the smartest people I’ve ever met, and that’s honestly not even their best quality. I love every minute we get to spend chipping away at and polishing these stories until they become what they were meant to be, and I also just love getting to know you as human beings. Thank you for all that you do, but more importantly who you are. Thank you also to my truly inimitable and delightfully fun publicists Danielle Keir and Dache’ Rogers. Once again, I don’t know how I got so lucky to have two people so enormously talented and stupendously funny and charismatic and wonderful in my corner as you two! And then of course there’s Jessica Mangicaro and Elise Tecco, marketers extraordinaire, who regularly move mountains for me. It’s rare to meet people who are both as relentlessly hardworking as this team and as creative and imaginative and fun—you truly do make magic, and I’m so thankful to have you in my life. Then of course there’s Sanny Chiu and Anthony Ramondo, the absolute icons behind the cover, spine, and dust jacket. Thank you for bringing my worlds to life! Alison Cnockaert—thank you for tolerating our dozen tiny questions and thoughts and making the interior design of this book so perfectly charming. So much gratitude also to Tawanna Sullivan and Ben Lee for getting my books into the hands of so many. Huge thank-you also to everyone else at Berkley who has endlessly supported me this past handful of years, including but not limited to: Christine Ball, Christine Legon, Cindy Hwang, Claire Zion, Craig Burke, Ivan Held, Jeanne-Marie Hudson, and Lindsey Tulloch.

Another enormous round of thanks to my UK team at Viking, with a special extra shout-out to my editor Vikki Moynes and the rest of my team: Ellie Hudson, Georgia Taylor, Harriet Bourton, Lydia Fried, and Rosie Safaty.

Immense appreciation also to my film agent, Mary Pender, and her phenomenal assistant (another person who has diligently managed my chaotic brain these past months), Celia Albers.

Thank you to the booksellers, the librarians, the bloggers, the reviewers, the people who make fan art and videos and beautiful pictures, the ones who lend their copies out and the ones who borrow those copies, the day-one readers and those just picking up one of my books for the first time.

And thank you, as always, to my friends and my family. For what you do, for who you are. I love you, always.
