Thank you to Ben Rosenthal for your insight and guidance on this book, and for taking such good care of me from the very start.
Thank you to everyone at Katherine Tegen and HarperCollins who worked on
Unforgivable
and
Invincible
. Thank you especially to artist Julie McLaughlin and jacket designer Heather Daugherty for creating such powerful, beautiful covers.
Huge thanks, as always, to my agent and fiercest cheerleader, Amy Tipton.
Odd's Café in Asheville, North Carolina, for giving me such a cozy place to write when my home office gets too lonely.
Malaprop's Bookstore, for your loving and enthusiastic support of the Asheville YA author community.
Everytown for Gun Safety (
www.everytown.org)
for providing the stats about guns and for the great work you do fighting for gun control in America.
My husband, Brian, for being my biggest fan and best beta reader. I love your guts.
My daughter, Elouise, for inspiring me to start believing in happy endings.
And finally, a huge thank-you and profound gratitude to Anica Rissi, whose imagination gave birth to Evie and Marcus, and who trusted me to adopt them and raise them as my own. So many years ago, I trusted you with my first book baby,
Beautiful
, and since then you have been a constant in my writing life. Thank you for believing in me at the beginning when I needed it so much. I am a better writer because of you. I will miss you as you embark on new adventures, but I believe in you, too.

AMY REED
was raised in and around Seattle, where she attended a total of eight schools by the time she was eighteen. Constantly moving taught her to be restless, and being an only child made her imagination do funny things. After graduating from film school, she earned an MFA in writing from New College of California. Amy currently lives in Asheville, North Carolina, with her husband, daughter, and a well-loved dog. She is no longer restless. Find out more at
