Bounce (40 page)

 my fabulous and talented coauthor, Veronica: Thanks for countless laughs and swoons; for some truly disastrous culinary and drinking “experiments;” and for being a model of grace, dedication, kindness, humor, and intelligence. No list of adjectives comes close to describing how much I adore you!

To my amazing extended family—Lisa, Mustafa, Alexandra, Andrew, Dina, Samantha, Abbey, Brenda, Elizabeth, Anna, and Matt—thanks again for being just who you are.

To all my writing compatriots—the other part of my family: Thank you for inspiring me, supporting me, challenging me, and being kick-ass, wonderful, brilliant people. I'm so lucky to know you all.

Last, thanks to Josh and Tracey Adams for all you do; to Tessa Woodward for your editorial guidance and support; to Elle Keck for your enthusiasm and help; to Molly Birckhead and Megan Schumann for helping us get these “babies” out into the world; and to the entire team at HarperCollins/William Morrow for working so hard on our behalf. Sometimes it feels like magic goes into making a book, but I know it's really a ton of hard work! Thanks so much.

This book was a joy to create from start to finish. Thanks first and foremost to Tessa Woodward for your belief in us, and for your editorial guidance. Thanks also to Elle Keck for all your help in bringing this book to publication. Megan Schumann and Molly Birckhead have both done so much to spread the word on this trilogy. I'm grateful for all your efforts!

Boundless love and thanks to my family and friends for their patience and support. I'm blessed to have you in my life. To my wonderful and talented coauthor: All the Mavericks for you! You're a treasure and I'm so fortunate to call you my friend.

Finally, thank you readers and bloggers for letting us share these characters with you. You've made this so rewarding and fun. Thank you for taking this journey with us. For you, a standing ovation.
