Twisted Sisters (27 page)

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

For all my readers, I’m forever in your debt. Thank you for continued support, especially
those of you who’ve been there since the first iteration of Jennsylvania. Please know
how hard you rock. Every time I see your happy faces at an event, I can’t get over
how lucky I am to have this job. You are truly the best!

A million thanks go to my editor, Tracy Bernstein, for continuing to push me. I’m
better at what I do because of your guidance. As always, heartfelt thanks go to Kara
Welsh and Claire Zion for letting me do my thing and never once saying, “Time travel?
Body swapping? Are you sure?” Ham-handed high fives from Deva and me. For Craig Burke
and Melissa Broder, thank you for your tireless efforts! Sales, Marketing, and Production,
you are my Dream Team, and Mimi Bark, just when I think you can’t possibly do a more
fantastic cover, BAM. Here you go again.

For Scott Miller, Super Agent, you, you’re very good. (And thanks for keeping everyone
calm when I broke the news about my new three-wheeled bike.) For Tiffany Ward and
Jon Cassir of CAA, I send the kindest regards.

I’d be nowhere without my family of choice—Joanna, Atlanta Julia, Stacey, Gina, Karyn,
and Tracey. The world is better—and so much more fun—because of y’all. (See, Julia?
I totally speak Southern.)

Huge thanks for my literary sisters Beth Harbison and Sarah Pekkanen for your advice
and guidance, and for the Perpetual Awesome that is Emily Giffin, Jennifer Weiner,
and Lisa Lampanelli. And big kisses to early readers Benjamin Kissell, Lisa De Pasquale,
and Alyson Ray. XOXO!

For Christine Weiler, M.A., L.P.C., thank you for all your insight into Cognitive
and Behavioral Therapy. Any mistakes in this book are mine. (Which clearly would be
the case anyway, but I still wanted to get that on record.)

Finally, for Fletch, for everything, but especially for not giving me
too
much grief over the three-wheeled bike. Love you.

And I also love my ginormous cherry red adult tricycle.

(But that’s part of my charm, yes?)
