To Max Stubblefield who has helped me achieve every goal I’ve set and become a very good friend along the way. To Nicole Perez who has done so much for me and has always made sure I had good posture. To Kristin Puttkamer for everything she does, including saving my book when I forgot to back up my hard drive before accidentally downloading a computer virus.
To P.J. Shapiro for always looking out for my best interests. To Dave Del Sesto for helping me keep my life together. To Adam DiVello for finding me in a parking lot at Laguna Beach High School and sticking with me ever since. To Sophia Rossi for being the big sister I never had. To Tony DiSanto, Liz Gateley, and everyone at MTV, without whom this book would not be possible.
To HarperCollins for giving me this opportunity, and specifically Zareen Jaffery and Farrin Jacobs for guiding me through the world of publishing. To Matthew Elblonk who helped in obtaining this opportunity for me and assisted in making my dream come true. To Nancy Ohlin, my collaborator, for helping me every step of the
way while I navigated the writing process—I couldn’t have done it without you.
Also I would like to thank Maura, Lo, Jillian, Natania, and Britton because they are the most amazing people I know and I am lucky to call them my best friends. And of course my family, whose support has been essential in helping me achieve my goals.
